The interview posted above is from SDPB's daily public affairs show, In the Moment with Lori Walsh.

State lawmakers will gather for a special session to discuss legislative responses to the now-transformed abortion rights landscape. Will they enact a travel ban to prevent South Dakota citizens from leaving the state for abortion services? Will they debate a comprehensive paid parental leave policy?
