South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem announced on Jan. 23 that she'll introduce a bill to her state’s legislature on Jan. 25 that would ban abortion of babies based solely on a diagnose of Down syndrome.
The Republican governor made the decision on the 48th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in Roe v. Wade, which ruled that the Constitution protects a pregnant woman’s liberty to choose to have an abortion without excessive government restriction.
