Voters defeated two radical pro-abortion amendments in Nebraska and South Dakota on election night. The defeats reversed a trend of pro-abortion ballot measures winning in red states.
(LifeSiteNews) — The pro-life movement gained several victories last night as radical pro-abortion constitutional amendments lost in both Nebraska and South Dakota.
These losses for the abortion agenda follow Florida’s defeat last night of a similarly radical pro-abortion amendment. These victories mitigate a series of losses for the pro-life movement, including in Ohio, Kansas, and, last night, Missouri.
South Dakota’s pro-abortion Amendment G lost by a large margin – 59.9% to 40.1% – according to the most recent data from the New York Times. South Dakota thus still prohibits essentially all abortions and is considered “most restrictive” by the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute. This means the state protects innocent human life in the womb. Abortion is prohibited except to “preserve the life of the pregnant female.”
The amendment would have allowed for almost all abortions, permitting for regulation only after the first trimester. However, 96% of abortions occur in the first trimester, according to the state’s 2022 data.
“The amendment establishes that during the first trimester a pregnant woman’s decision to obtain an abortion may not be regulated nor may regulations be imposed on the carrying out of an abortion,” reads the attorney general’s explanation.
