EXTREME ABORTION CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
This petition drive to get a constitutional amendment on the ballot in November that would legalize abortion with almost no limitations has been successful. Dakotans for Health (the group behind this abortion push) has been chastised by the attorney general for unethical/illegal practices to get signers on their petition. If you've already signed the abortion petition, there is now legal recourse to get your name removed. Contact Life Defense Fund at lifedefensefund.com, 605/951-5582, info@lifedefensefund.com, or PO Box 90416, Sioux Falls, SD 57109. Pray that the amendment would be defeated at the polls!
