New S Dakota abortion ban on hold

19 June 2006

Opponents of a new abortion ban in the US state of South Dakota have succeeded in putting the law on hold until a state-wide ballot is held in November.

A pro-choice group has collected the 16,728 signatures needed to stop the law coming into force on 1 July.

The law bans all abortions - including in cases of rape or incest - unless the mother's life is at risk.

Its supporters hope it could help challenge the 1973 US Supreme Court decision that legalised abortions.
