One hundred thirty South Dakota doctors endorsed the abortion-limiting legislation. Mark Gordon, M.D., Sioux Falls, stated: "Referred Law 6 allows a doctor to provide chemotherapy and radiation to a pregnant woman without fear of criminal charges. Women with other serious medical conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease, can also choose medical treatments that could cause unintentional miscarriage of their pregnancies."
Steve Billion, M.D., Sioux Falls, agreed, saying, "I am confident that this law will provide for the life and health of mothers."
Yvonne Seger, M.D., Sioux Falls, explained the legislation, saying: "Referred Law 6 enables South Dakota physicians to provide full treatment to pregnant women. The legislation allows any legitimate care that a doctor would suggest today. Referred Law 6 regulates intent, not procedure."
David Ellerbusch, M.D., Sioux Falls, listed several negative risks of abortion, such as cervical or uterine injury and disability of newborns in future pregnancies.
South Dakota Physicians for Life is a diverse group of physicians dedicated to protecting human life. It strives to present medical truth to South Dakota communities.
