Birthplace of US abortion law official
The midwest state of South Dakota has one of the lowest abortion rates in the United States.
It is also a place where many pieces of anti-abortion legislation are conceived, before they are picked up and adapted by other states.
Pro-choice activists see the state as a key testing ground for such legislation, which also puts it at the centre of some of the most bitter fights on the abortion issue.
Al Jazeera's Alan Fisher reports from Pierre, South Dakota.
