New Ad from SD Healthy Families

by

SIOUX FALLS, SD Today, the South Dakota Campaign for Healthy Families began airing a third television advertisement that highlights the unprecedented Government intrusion that will occur as a result of Initiated Measure 11.Under the abortion ban, the Government will have control over certain personal and private medical decisions ofSouth Dakotafamilies.

Proponents of Initiated Measure 11 would rather see these decisions made by big Government than by the women and families ofSouth Dakota, said Jan Nicolay, Co-Chair of the South Dakota Campaign for Healthy Families. The abortion ban would intervene between families and doctors and give the Government access to the medical records ofSouth Dakotans. It would criminalize doctors and put the Government in charge of determining appropriate medical care, said Nicolay.

The Campaign for Healthy Families is opposing the abortion ban becauseSouth Dakotansshould be able to make their own medical decisions without Government meddling.Though neutral in 2006, the South Dakota State Medical Association is also speaking out against Measure 11 as undue Government interference in the practice of medicine that would threaten doctors and patients.

The Campaigns new ad is entitled Government and may be viewed at the following link:

District 10 candidate answers insightful

I found their answers interesting, especially to measure 11. Hunt said this:

8. Do you approve or disapprove of Initiated Measure 11, which would ban all abortions with exceptions for the mother’s life, rape or incest?

I support Initiated Measure 11. It will stop abortions being used as birth control, protect over 800 unborn children in South Dakota annually and protect the health of women. The drafting of this measure was led by the attorney general who supports it. It provides the exceptions the general public asked for in 2006.

What!? So now our AG supports unconstitutional laws! That’s scary.

And Shantel gives the Deb Peters answer.

8. Do you approve or disapprove of Initiated Measure 11, which would ban all abortions with exceptions for the mother’s life, rape or incest? I support any measure that reduces the number of abortions used for birth control but strongly believe that better education on reproduction would lessen the number of women who have to make that difficult decision.
