SIOUX FALLS, SD (Press Release) – On Tuesday, South Dakotans rejected the extreme abortion measure that would have put women in grave danger. After two years of working hard to protect women and children from the dangers of Amendment G, this secures a huge victory for Life Defense Fund, which is a coalition of people representing tens of thousands of people across the state.

Co-Chairs of Life Defense Fund, Leslee Unruh and Jon Hansen, issued the following statement:

“We are grateful to God and to the people of the state of South Dakota! As South Dakotans learned the truth about the extreme dangers of Amendment G, they sent a message loud and clear today: we protect mothers and children. We are so thankful that South Dakotans rejected this extreme abortion measure that would’ve allowed abortion through all nine months, canceled basic health and safety protections for women, and stripped parents’ right to know if their minor daughter was being coerced into having an abortion. This effort took an army of people who devoted so much time, energy, and resources to defeat this extreme effort, and for that, we are incredibly grateful.”
