Supporters of an abortion rights initiative in South Dakota have submitted far more signatures than required to make the ballot this fall

Supporters of a South Dakota abortion rights initiative submitted far more signatures than required Wednesday to make the ballot this fall. But its outcome is unclear in the conservative state, where Republican lawmakers strongly oppose the measure and a major abortion rights advocate doesn't support it.

The initiative would allow the state to regulate or prohibit abortion in the third trimester, “except when abortion is necessary, in the medical judgment of the woman’s physician, to preserve the life or health of the pregnant woman.' “Our Roe framework allows for abortion in the first two trimesters,' Weiland said. The American Civil Liberties Union of South Dakota doesn't support the measure.
