As indicated in her State of the State Address earlier this month, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has introduced a bill to ban abortions based on a diagnosis of Down syndrome.
“The Declaration of Independence summarizes what we all know in our hearts to be true: God created each of us and endowed all of us with the right to life. This is true for everyone, including those with an extra chromosome,” said Noem. “I look forward to the day when the Supreme Court recognizes that all preborn children inherently possess this right to life, too. Until that time comes, I am asking the South Dakota legislature to pass a law that bans the abortion of a preborn child, just because that child is diagnosed with Down syndrome.”
Trump Receives Special South Dakota Related Gift Last Summer
Regardless of how you personally feel about former President Donald Trump, there is no denying he held the state of South Dakota and its people in high regard.
Most likely, one of the biggest reasons why was the good working relationship he had with South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem throughout his Presidency.
Word came out this week that Noem presented Trump with a special gift to help him remember his visit to the Rushmore state last year during the 4th of July fireworks celebration the president presided over at the national monument.
