SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — “Dakotans for Health” kicked off the start of their petition drive to put abortion into South Dakota’s constitution.

As of Saturday, the group has 180 days to collect the minimum of 60,000 signatures, which is based on ten percent of the total vote for Governor in this year’s election.

When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, this trigger law went into effect, repealing previous abortion law, making them illegal and a felony in South Dakota.
