With voters declining to enshrine a right to abortion in the State Constitution, South Dakota will continue to have one of the strictest abortion bans in the country.

Voters in South Dakota rejected a proposition to establish a constitutional right to abortion, becoming the second state to vote “no” on an abortion rights referendum following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v.

South Dakota voters are deciding whether to add protections for abortion rights to the state constitution and potentially overturn the state’s abortion ban.
