my initial reaction was that SD should have to deal with this law. if they want it, so be it. i know this is technically unrealistic at the moment (as RvW would have to be overturned first). but part of the problem with RvW is that it is not democratic policy-making, so abortion laws have less legitimacy with many people. so if SD thinks they will be better off with this law, i don't feel i should waste my time worrying about their decisions.
but aside from the negative aspects mentioned, it seems a law like this would also have negative economic (and criminal, via freakonomics) impacts on the state. people will probably think twice about moving there for a job. but the extent of these and other problems should be sorted out by SD. unfortunately the court battles probably won't allow for it.
