From the South Dakota Healthy Families Campaign:

Yesterday, the South Dakota Campaign for Healthy Families delivered 38,000 signatures to the South Dakota Secretary of State — more than twice the number needed to challenge the state's abortion ban on the November ballot.

That was the first step. Now the real campaign begins. We have just five months to educate tens of thousands of moderate South Dakotans and get them out to the polls. The extremists who passed this attack on women's health will use every trick in the book to defend it.

That's why NARAL Pro-Choice America and Planned Parenthood Federation of America are asking you to give directly to the South Dakota campaign to kick off a massive voter education and turnout campaign.

Our two organizations often work together to achieve common goals. Today we are joining forces to ask you to donate to the South Dakota Campaign for Healthy Families, the coalition which sprang into action as soon as the ban was passed.

We supported them as they rolled up their sleeves, hit the pavement, and collected the signatures needed to put the measure before voters. Right now they need your help to begin knocking on doors, talking to the media, running ads, and making sure every South Dakotan knows just how important it is to vote down this ban.

Please give $25, $50, $100, or more to the South Dakota Campaign for Healthy Families to win the ballot measure in November!

The week South Dakota Governor Mike Rounds signed this ban — intended to be a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade — an anonymous right-wing donor pledged $1 million to finance the legal battle against Roe. This is what we're up against!

Polls show a majority of South Dakota voters disagree with Governor Rounds. But without the resources needed to counter anti-choice opposition all the way through November, the majority voice might be muted again.

Help the South Dakota Campaign for Healthy Families kick off their campaign!

Don't let this attack on fundamental American values go unanswered.

Have no illusions. South Dakota was an intentional test case that was initiated as soon as Bush's judges got approved. If we can hold the line here, we will have the advantage in the next fight. If we lose here, they will have the advantage. This is the culmination of years of Bush policies. We cannot ignore it!
