SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) – This year South Dakota voters were asked if they would approve a constitutional right to an abortion (Amendment G).
And, a majority of voters said no .
“I just think it was a broad spectrum of South Dakotans from all walks of life who once they learned about Amendment G, they just said, that’s too extreme for us,” Amendment G opponent, Jon Hansen said.
However, even after the election, Life Defense Fund still has an upcoming day in court with Dakotans for Health .
In June the anti-abortion group sued the group that put Amendment G on the ballot , on the grounds of invalid petition signatures.
“Our focus was to defeat Amendment G. So, you know, there’s still lawsuit hanging out around there so we’ll see how that wraps up, what goes on with that moving forward,” Hansen said.
The next hearing is scheduled for Dec. 2 when details will be available if the trial will continue.

During an email exchange between a Minnehaha County judge and both parties, the Life Defense Fund’s attorney Sara Frankenstein says abortion opponents will submit a summary judgment that would, “completely dispose of the case and any need for trial.”
