The SD abortion ban almost didn’t make it through the Senate. Earlier this month, a legislative committee reduced the proposed ban down to a Right to Know bill. The measure was sent back to the Senate floor and stalled after a 17-17 vote.

Then, at the last moment, Sen. William Napoli (R-Rapid City) switched his vote.

The proposed legislation will now be sent to a conference committee to iron out the differences from the House and Senate versions.
The Senate’s version of the bill is expected to emerge from the committee intact and be signed by pro-life Gov. Mike Rounds.
