 Governors offer array of approaches to abortion fight
by Brad Dress - 06/26/22 2:25 PM ET

State governors offered an array of approaches on Sunday as to how they would govern under the new abortion landscape in a post-Roe America, with Republicans largely moving to make the procedure a felony with few to no exceptions and Democrats ensuring their states will become abortion havens for women seeking care.

The Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade on Friday punted laws on abortion access back to individual states, some of which have already banned or tightened restrictions on abortions because they had trigger laws in place.

In total, 22 states across the country will ban or restrict access to abortions, according to an analysis from the Guttmacher Institute. Another 16 states and Washington, D.C., have laws in place that protect the right to an abortion.

Much of the Midwest is likely to see its abortion clinics close. In South Dakota, performing an abortion is now a felony unless it will save the life of a pregnant woman. There are no exceptions for rape or incest.

Gov. Kristi Noem (R) told CBS “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan on Sunday the state will target doctors who perform illegal abortions for prosecution but not women.

Noem added that South Dakota has a bill in the pipeline that will further restrict abortion access by banning telemedicine appointments between abortion care providers and patients in order to block women from getting prescribed abortion pills that can be shipped via mail.

The GOP governor told Brennan the pills were “very dangerous medical procedures” despite being approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
