Abortion Pills in South Dakota: Options Despite the Total Ban
South Dakota has a total ban with only a narrow exception to save the life of the pregnant person. No exceptions for rape, incest, or fetal anomalies. Voters rejected a constitutional amendment (Amendment G) in November 2024 that would have restored access. Even before the ban, the state had only one clinic.
