PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — The South Dakota Legislature on Wednesday passed a proposal from Gov. Kristi Noem that aims to make the state one of the hardest places in the U.S. to get abortion pills, though it won't actually be enacted unless the state prevails in a federal court battle.

Every Senate Republican voted to pass the bill, sending it to Noem's desk on a 32-2 vote. However, the bill contains language that stipulates most of it won't take effect unless the state convinces a federal judge to lift a preliminary injunction against a similar rule Noem attempted to enact last year.

The bill would require women seeking an abortion to make three separate trips to a doctor in order to take abortion pills and make it clear that women in the state cannot get them through a telemedicine consultation.

The Food and Drug Administration last year permanently removed a major obstacle for women seeking abortion pills by eliminating a long-standing requirement that they pick up the medication in person.

8. All forms of birth control are next.

If they want to ban birth control, could condoms be next?

BTW, condoms come in three sizes: large, extra-large, and OH MY GOD!!!

9. Such a pointless Christi-Fascist exercise

Turning people into criminals to satisfy some insane interpretation of a book is completely un-American. It won’t work and worst of all it teaches people to ignore the rule of law.

10. Coming to all Qpublican states

I can not believe my children and my grandchildren will have to go through this fight again. With the Reich Wing controlled Supreme Court, and the White Christo fascist controlled states, this is going to become a common sight.
