South Dakota anti-abortion group appeals ruling that dismissed its lawsuit over ballot initiative
PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — An anti-abortion group in South Dakota has appealed to the state’s Supreme Court after a judge dismissed its lawsuit to take an abortion rights initiative off the November ballot. In a statement, Life Defense Fund Co-Chair Leslee Unruh said the group has asked for an expedited order from the court “because there are absolutely no legal grounds for this dismissal.” The appeal was filed Wednesday. “We will do everything we can to move this case as fast as possible,” she said. The group sought to remove the initiated measure, alleging wrongdoing related to petition circulators. Measure group Dakotans for Health submitted tens of thousands of petition signatures in May. Secretary of State Monae Johnson’s office later validated the initiative for the Nov. 5 general election ballot.

Starting out in the morning, we could see some areas of patchy fog develop then clear by mid morning. Temperatures will start out in the low 60s, with low to mid 80s returning by the afternoon.
