Abortions Decline in S. Dakota
Everyone knows that South Dakota voters overturned a ban on abortion approved by lawmakers earlier this year. That doesn't make the procedure popular in the state, of course.
South Dakota has only one abortion clinic and generally has among the lowest abortion rates per capita in the nation. What's more, the state health department has just reported that abortions dropped in 2005 for the fourth consecutive year.
Written and compiled by staff writers and editors, GOVERNING View is an on-the-ground, and sometimes behind-the-scenes, look at the topics we're covering in print and online. From notes on what's up in statehouses, county courthouses and city halls, to encounters with people, places and things, GOVERNING View is a window into the side of state and local government you don't always see.
