A new poll suggests a significant majority of South Dakotans believe the state’s abortion laws should allow more exceptions.
The SDSU Poll released Wednesday found 74% of South Dakotans support access to abortion in cases of rape or incest.
The state’s trigger law that went into effect after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade this summer only allows abortions in situations where the pregnancy endangers the mother’s life.
The poll also found 46% of South Dakotans support the right to abortion in the first trimester, compared to 43% opposed. Around 10% were undecided.
According to the SDSU Poll, their survey consists of over 500 respondents, and it has a four percent margin of error.
