Yes, South Dakota has already passed an abortion ban, and 10 other states are now considering legislation that would criminalize the procedure, too. They are: Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee and West Virginia.

So it still makes good sense to remind your reps what you think about it now by speaking out.
