Gov. Noem vows quick South Dakota legislation to restrict abortion if Roe is overturned

If reports of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade become official, Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) vowed to call for a special legislative session to restrict abortion.

Late Monday night, a leaked draft of the majority opinion in Dobbs v. Women’s Health Organization seemed to indicate that the Supreme Court voted to strike down Roe v. Wade, allowing states to make their own laws on the controversial topic of abortion.
