South Dakota lawmakers are proposing a bill that would create educational material, including a video, to help doctors understand when they can end a pregnancy without facing prison time under the state’s near-total abortion ban. The bill is in response to concerns over women developing dangerous complications when hospitals refuse to terminate pregnancies due to strict abortion laws. The legislation aims to clarify exceptions to the abortion ban, outlining when a pregnancy can be ended under certain medical conditions. Supporters believe the bill will provide necessary guidance to healthcare providers, while critics argue that such guidance may not fully capture the complexity of medical decisions in life-threatening situations.
