South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) announced two bills that she says will be “the strongest pro-life laws on the books” in the state. One would ban abortion after a heartbeat is detected in the fetus, and the other would end telemedicine abortions.
“Every human life is unique and beautiful from the moment it is conceived. Every life is worthy of our protection, worthy of the right to live,” Gov. Noem said in a press release on Friday.
Her announcement of the new legislation coincided with the 2022 March for Life rally. Tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered in front of the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., as justices are weighing a challenge to Roe v. Wade.
“We hope that this year’s March for Life will be the last and that the Supreme Court will finally protect every unborn life. But until that comes to pass, these bills will ensure that both unborn children and their mothers are protected in South Dakota,” Noem said.
Similar to the Texas law banning abortions after a heartbeat can be detected, the draft of Noem’s legislation would allow private civil lawsuits against a person who performs or assists the performance of an abortion after a heartbeat can be detected, which is typically around 6 weeks.
Noem issued an executive order blocking telemedicine abortions last year. The new legislation strengthens the ban. Under the new law, women will be unable to receive an abortion pill over the phone or the internet, and will be forced to go to their health care provider in person. The Republican governor cited a study showing that women who undergo chemical abortions are four times more likely to go to the emergency room after the procedure.
Abortions in South Dakota have declined by more than 80% over the past decade, Noem said.

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
