I thought this happened several months ago. Did the governor just now sign it, or am I thinking of another state? There is a referendum going on the November ballot in SD to repeal the anti-abortion law. Hopefully the people will undo what their idiotic legislature has done. I believe that the law cannot be enforced now since it conflicts with Roe v Wade, but sets up a court challenge that some hope will overturn Roe (given Bush's recent Supreme Court appointments). This is why it's so important to fight for fair Supreme Court nominees (not to mention the guy who appoints them).
