Planned Parenthood and ACLU of South Dakota File Suit to Stop Medically Unnecessary Restriction on Medication Abortion in South Dakota

Yesterday, Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union of South Dakota (ACLU) filed a lawsuit challenging a new rule from the South Dakota Department of Health, created at the direction of Gov. Kristi Noem, that would place yet another medically unnecessary and burdensome restriction on abortion access in South Dakota. The rule would require patients to have to wait a minimum of 24 hours before they can receive the second of two medications necessary for a medication abortion. This would mean patients would have to visit a health center three separate times to have their abortion.
