The South Dakota House State Affairs Committee on Wednesday approved 10-1 a bill... (SB 193) that would require parents to be notified within 24 hours of "emergency abortions" performed on their minor daughters, the AP/Aberdeen American News reports (Brokaw, AP/Aberdeen American News, 2/23). The measure also would tighten the current state definition of a parent to ensure that nonparents cannot take minors across state lines to access abortion services. The measure includes a clause that would allow minors to seek a court order to avoid parental notification for emergency abortions. The state Senate approved the measure earlier this month (Kaiser Daily Reproductive Health Report, 2/18). The measure now goes to the full state House (AP/Aberdeen American News, 2/23).

Senate Committee Action
The Senate State Affairs Committee on Wednesday approved three bills that would restrict abortion access in the state, the Associated Press reports. Each of the measures now goes to the state Senate for consideration (Kafka, Associated Press, 2/23). Details of the bills are below.
