The biggest danger to the lives of pregnant women in America right now is not pro-life laws, but pro-abortion misinformation.
This fact has become increasingly apparent over the past several months as President Joe Biden and the abortion industry push the blatantly false narrative that pro-life laws prevent women from receiving emergency care. Such medical fearmongering has been used to pass extreme pro-abortion ballot measures, elect pro-abortion candidates, and thwart pro-life bills. Tragically, such misinformation leads to confusion among medical professionals about exactly what the laws permit and ultimately harms pregnant women.
Currently, every pro-life law in the country has abortion exceptions for the life of the mother, allowing pregnant women to receive life-saving care when it is needed. This means that every doctor in every state can act when a pregnant mother experiences an emergency. However, with the abortion industry continuing to sew confusion, it has become necessary for states to step in and reiterate that pregnant women can and should receive timely medical care.
South Dakota is leading the way for the rest of the nation with a first-of-its-kind, bipartisan bill that offers clarity on the life-of-the-mother exceptions in the state’s pro-life laws. Under the bill, known as Med Ed, the state’s Department of Health will create training videos and materials to educate doctors and hospitals throughout South Dakota on their ability—and legal obligation—to provide emergency care to pregnant women under the state’s life at conception law.
The majority of American voters believe that unborn babies should be protected from being aborted when they can feel pain by as early as 15 weeks. As pro-life Americans, we cannot allow this killing of unborn babies to continue.
