South Dakota argues “self-evident truths”OneNewsNow: “The Eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is being asked to rule on South Dakota’s informed consent law . . . ‘We think those [women have a legal relationship with their unborn baby and that there is a risk of depression and suicide associated with abortion] are self-evident truths, but the trial court did not think so,’ explains Steven Aden, senior counsel with the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF). ‘We are hopeful that the Eighth Circuit will again reverse the trial court and say that South Dakota has a right and arguably even an obligation to require abortionists to tell the whole truth to women who are considering abortion.’” |
