Abortion rights supporters in South Dakota say doctors can’t rely on a new video from the state and mandated by a law that its Republican prime sponsor said gives clear guidance to physicians for life-threatening situations. The Republican-led Legislature passed the video bill earlier this year. The South Dakota Department of Health posted the six-minute video to YouTube on Wednesday. In it, Department Secretary Melissa Magstadt talks about the abortion laws and a various pregnancy medical complications. Opponents criticize the video for its legal disclaimer and not providing clarity. South Dakota outlaws all abortions but to save the life of the mother.
