New Ad from SD Healthy Families
l3wis 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.
