SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — The leader of a South Dakota grassroots group says his organization will work to put an initiated measure on a future ballot to codify abortion rights in the state.
The U.S. Supreme Court this summer may overturn Roe versus Wade, which legalized abortion over 40 years ago.
Rick Weiland, head of TakeItBack.org, says they are trying to raise $50,000 before the end of June before starting the signature-gathering process.
He says the group needs $800,000 to win on election day.
Weiland also says they will need to gather 60,000 valid signatures to get the measure on the ballot.
