South Dakota should focus its efforts on ensuring that women have access to the full range of reproductive health services, including contraception and medically accurate sexuality education, instead of banning abortion. We would do well to focus our efforts on prevention instead of passing laws that not only threaten women's health and lives but are also blatantly unconstitutional.
