Protect Women's Health

Women's Health is a hot topic right now and as a woman, a South Dakotan, and a voter, I am asking you to support women's health and reproductive freedom. What a woman chooses to do with her own body is between her, her faith, her family, and her doctor. This is not the government's business. If the government wants to reduce the number of unwanted/ unviable pregnancies, we'd invest in health care for all, prevention, family planning, education, and support programs for new parents. Also, because of HIPAA laws that protect the privacy of patients, it is really an overreach of state/ federal government to be involved in these private health decisions. We, as a society, should not be in the business of forcing women to remain pregnant against their will or presuming we know anything about their circumstances. This state won't even mandate masks or vaccinations as a public safety precaution because, "personal freedom". Personal freedom seems to be an idea thrown around a lot when it is convenient, or politically motivated, but not when it's actually warranted and practical. Thank you for your time.
