2018 SD Governor's race: on Abortion


Marty Jackley: AdWatch: Protect the unborn

[TV ad entitled "Running"; aired March 20, for 45 days] I'm Marty Jackley. [video on screen: Marty walking outdoors with a man in a baseball cap].

[Marty speaking to camera]: I ran track at Mines [photo: track team photo; subtitle: "1990 SDSMT Hall of Fame team"], then ran a business [photo: uniform emblazoned with "School of Mines and Technology, Track and Field"] before running for Attorney General to fight crime, drugs, and predators.

Now I'm running for governor. As a proven conservative I will:

  • strengthen education
  • create more opportunities
  • and higher wages for our kids
  • defend the Second Amendment
    [Subtitle: Defend 2nd Amendment
  • protect the right to life
    [Subtitle: Protect the unborn]
  • Cut spending
  • And run a tight ship in Pierre

    [Son enters video from back of room]: "Just don't run anywhere in those shorts, dad."

    [Marty holds up gold running shorts]: "What's wrong with these?" [Looks at camera and shrugs] Subtitle: Marty Jackley for governor.

    Billie Sutton: Strong conservative history on abortion

    Sutton's first major abortion vote may have had the most negative impact on South Dakota women. In 2011, Sutton supported House Bill 1217, which imposed South Dakota's egregious 72-hour waiting period and forced "counseling" sessions for women seeing abortions. In 2016, Sutton supported Senate Bill 72, a 20-week abortion ban based on dubious science about "fetal pain."˙To his credit, Sutton this year resisted Republicans'˙effort to toughen that "fetal pain" ban.
