South Dakotans voted against a proposal to amend their state constitution to guarantee the right to an abortion in the first trimester of pregnancy, according to The Associated Press. 

The measure allowed the state to regulate abortion only in ways “reasonably related to the physical health of the pregnant woman” in the second trimester.”

The South Dakota measure did not receive support form major reproductive rights groups, including the ACLU and regional Planned Parenthood affiliates, who argued that it did not go far enough in guaranteeing abortion protections.
