Choose strife.


What if the state where you lived passed a law that said abortion was no longer legal? Would you quietly let the law lie, and start packing, or would you dust off the protest signs and hit the streets?

Proving that their name is not a contradiction in terms, NARAL Pro-Choice South Dakota launched a campaign to get an initiative onto the ballot that will overturn the law making abortion illegal.

This law is the strictest ban on abortion in the country -- an inadequate exception for a woman's life and no exception for a woman's health, rape or incest -- and will become state law on July 1. Unless the nearly 17,000 signatures are collected for a voter referendum, in which case the people, not the politicians, get to decide.
