In a move one state senator described as “sneaky,” the Senate Health and Human Services Committee made a last-ditch effort to resurrect a bill on Monday. The committee was asked to reconsider House Bill 1155, regulating responses to prenatal Down syndrome diagnoses. Part of that bill puts obligations on doctors performing abortions. As SDPB’s Victoria Wicks reports, the bill was not posted on the agenda, and apparently some committee members hadn’t been told that it was up for discussion.
