Press Conference, Commentary

TRANSCRIPT:
DON LEMON: South Dakota is becoming a new focal point in the abortion debate. The state's November 4th ballot contains a referendum on a measure that would ban most abortions. Opponents say it would be one of the most rigid and inflexible bans in the country. They worry about the impact it could have on Roe v. Wade.

SARAH STOESZ: No where in America is abortion harder to access than in the state of South Dakota. And, while South Dakota accounts for only .1 percent of abortions nationwide, it has a potentially disproportionate, powerful effect on public policy in our country. Because of the attempts in South Dakota to create a vehicle to overturn Roe versus Wade.

LEMON: Two years ago South Dakotans rejected a stricter law banning abortions in their state. The abortion issue isn't at the top of the list of voter concerns this year, but it's still a big emotional issue that matters to a lot of Americans. Here's where the two major presidential candidates stand on this issue. Democrat Barack Obama is against any constitutional amendment to overturn Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion. Now, Republican John McCain says it must be overturned. Obama disagrees with the Supreme Court ruling to uphold the partial birth abortion ban act of 2003, McCain supports the High Court's decision.
