SDCL § 34-23A-28: Application of partial-birth abortion prohibition.

The provisions of §§ 34-23A-27 to 34-23A-33, inclusive, do not apply to any partial-birth abortion that is necessary to save the life of the mother because her life is endangered by a physical disorder, illness, or injury, including a life-endangering condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself, if no other medical procedure would suffice for that purpose.
