THOMPSON STATEMENT ON SOUTH DAKOTA GOVERNOR’S ACTION ON ABORTION |
| City Comptroller William C. Thompson, Jr. issued the following statement regarding South Dakota Governor Mike Rounds’ signature on legislation that would ban nearly all abortions in the state:
“Governor Mike Rounds’ action today represents a chilling step backward for South Dakota and for our nation. I fear for the health of women in the state who will be forced back into the alleyways of our nation for a procedure that was once theirs by right.”
