Who was saying that Roe v. Wade was so entrenched that it wasn't at risk even with Roberts and Alito? South Dakota just passed a near-total abortion ban. Proposed amendments to the law to create exceptions to specifically protect the health of the mother, or in cases of rape or incest, were voted down. It is obviously unconstitutional if Roe v. Wade is still good law, but they're hoping the new and "improved" Supreme Court will overturn it.
Did I mention my suggestion that the legislators who pass obviously unconstitutional laws pay for the litigation costs? This is going to cost South Dakota probably in excess of $20M.
