Obviously, we're very disappointed that Gov. Rounds has sided on the side of politics rather than on the side of the women of South Dakota to protect their health and safety.

We fully intend to challenge this law. It's just a question of how.

The women of South Dakota will still be able to access safe and legal abortion as this case works its way through the court system.

If he chooses to sign it, we will be filing a lawsuit in short order to block it.

We hope (Rounds) recognizes this for what it is: a political tool and not about the health and safety of the women of South Dakota.

While they are making political maneuvers, we're trying to fight for the women of South Dakota. I hate to envision the day when the women of South Dakota are treated differently than the women elsewhere when it comes to safe and legal health care.
