Daniel Ahlers on Abortion

 

 


Oppose requiring counseling at anti-abortion crisis center

Legislative Summary: Senate Bill 110: establish pre-abortion counseling practices by abortion providers [including] mandatory third-party pre-abortion counseling.

Analysis by Dakota News Now: "Planned Parenthood has failed in their obligation to provide accurate information and counseling to these women," said a sponsor of SB110. The law requires women to decide whether or not they would like counseling from the nonprofit before having an abortion.

Argument against, in Deseret News: Planned Parenthood MN/ND/SD, which operates South Dakota's only abortion clinic in Sioux Falls, disagrees. "The stated mission of a crisis pregnancy center is to dissuade a woman from seeking abortion care," [an activist] said.

Legislative Outcome: Passed Senate 27-8-0 on Feb/6/18; Passed House 56-9-0 on Feb/26/18; State Rep. Daniel Ahlers voted NO; Signed by Governor Dennis Daugaard on Mar/7/18
