PIERRE, S.D. -
A legislative panel has approved a measure that would prohibit abortion providers in South Dakota from accepting payment until the day a procedure is scheduled to be performed. The House Health and Human Services Committee on Tuesday passed the proposal sponsored by Republican Rep. Nancy Rasmussen.

South Dakota law requires that physicians wait at least 72 hours after an initial consultation and assessment before an abortion can be performed.
