The Battle So Far


Anti-abortion activists have tried multiple tactics to prevent the people of South Dakota from voting on this critical issue. First, they tried to intimidate our petition circulators. When that failed, they spread lies about our amendment. Despite their efforts, 55,000 South Dakotans signed our petition. Activists then rushed a law allowing people to withdraw their signatures, but not a single person agreed to withdraw. Their paid callers even tried to scam signers by pretending to be from the Secretary of State’s office.


When these tactics failed, they filed a lawsuit to remove abortion rights from the ballot. The lawsuit was dismissed, so they appealed to the South Dakota Supreme Court. It is time to let the people decide.


Make It Happen: Vote YES on Freedom Amendment G


Your involvement is crucial. Share our message, follow us on social media, engage in relational fundraising, volunteer your time, and educate your community. Together, we can overcome the opposition and restore reproductive rights in South Dakota. Let’s make it happen and vote YES on Freedom Amendment G!
