SD Gov. vows to sign law banning abortions if it passes legislature



"Gov. Mike Rounds said he would sign legislation making abortion illegal in South Dakota if the 2005 Legislature passes a bill that meets his inspection.



'If it saves lives - which is what our goal is - I would feel morally obligated to sign the bill,' Rounds said.



Last year, a bill to ban abortions passed in the state House of Representatives but failed by a single vote in the Senate after lawmakers rejected changes Rounds included in a style-and-form veto...



'I'd like to see Roe v. Wade repealed," the governor said. "I'd like to get legislation in place that could successfully challenge Roe v. Wade and make good law.'"
