This year's abortion ban in South Dakota is no more humane than the last time around. The exceptions for rape force the rape victim to identify her attacker and test her fetus for DNA before she can access abortion. SD supporters of the abortion ban also claim "abortion is being used as birth control." Since SD legislators voted down greater access to birth control this year, there isn't even "birth control as birth control."
