South Dakotans overwhelmingly oppose abortion ban law

More evidence that this is a pro-choice nation: South Dakota Legislature Bucks Public Opinion:

With the South Dakota legislature passing a bill that challenges "Roe v. Wade" by virtually banning abortions, Survey USA examined how South Dakotans viewed the measure. They found that only 37% of respondents agreed with the law; 61% disagreed.

Update: Via the comments, it looks like this is actually a poll of Colorado residents (see the Breaking News Polls at Survey USA). I'd be interested to see a poll of South Dakotans, but this ain't it. Instead, check out this insightful essay by PZ Meyers. What good is the right to choose if there's no place to get an abortion? And don't think this isn't part of the anti-abortion strategy. The City Pages had an article about this a few years ago: No Choice.

Unfortunately that SurveyUSA poll is misleading. If you click the link at the bottom of the pie chart, you find that the poll surveyed Colorado residents, not South Dakotans. The poll was sponsored by KUSA-TV Denver. Someone should poll South Dakota.
