## Resource

South Dakota’s controversial abortion ad ban, which criminalizes promoting abortion services except in life-threatening cases, has hit a major legal snag. A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement against nonprofit Mayday Health, ruling the state failed to prove the law was narrowly tailored and necessary — a critical win for free speech advocates. Though the Attorney General had previously pressured the group to remove ads, this ruling temporarily shields them. Governor, while disappointed, insists the law is constitutional and remains in force — signaling this is just a pause in a much larger, unresolved battle over abortion access and rights in the state.
