Abortion & Reproductive Rights

Requires schools to teach about fetal development during pregnancy.

This bill requires the South Dakota Board of Education Standards to recommend resources for prenatal human development education in schools. School districts must use these resources in health or science curricula. The instruction must include high-definition ultrasound videos showing organ development and prenatal development from fertilization to birth (minimum 3 minutes). The bill prohibits using materials from entities that perform, promote, contract with, affiliate with, or refer patients for abortions.
