Voters reject South Dakota abortion ban
0:27 ET, Wed 8 Nov 2006
SIOUX FALLS, S.D., Nov. 7 (Reuters) - South Dakota voters overturned on Tuesday a state abortion ban that supporters had championed as the best chance to challenge a 33-year-old U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing the procedure.
"This means that there has been a rebellion against social, right-wing wedge politics that have been dominating this country," said Sarah Stoesz, chief of Planned Parenthood's operations in the Dakotas and Minnesota, key backers of the campaign to kill the measure.
"It is a very important victory for people who are open-minded and progressive in this country."
Supporters of the abortion ban declined to comment.
