South Dakota Bill would Mandate Religious Counseling Prior to Abortion

A bill making its way through the South Dakota legislature would mandate that all women who need an abortion first undergo "counseling" at a Crisis pregnancy center and then wait 72 hours before the procedure could be performed.  The bill also creates a burden of proof of sorts by requiring that a women "prove" she is not being coerced into a decision to terminate her pregnancy.
