Ep. 3: The Shoe

SDPB

Many health care providers say South Dakota’s current abortion ban is unclear and creating a hostile environment to practice women’s health care. Lawmakers and the state seek to clarify the ban. The proposed constitutional amendment seeks to remedy the confusion while also allowing the state to restrict the procedure.

Plus, two women who’ve spent decades on opposite sides of the abortion issue weigh in on the current political climate around abortion.

Some of the audio used in this podcast series is from a 2008 documentary created by journalist Denise Ross. See that full documentary below.

Lee Strubinger is SDPB’s Rapid City-based politics and public policy reporter. Lee is a two-time national Edward R. Murrow Award winning reporter. He holds a master’s in public affairs reporting from the University of Illinois-Springfield.
