SD Officials Weight Next Action on Abortion Law

     SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - South Dakota's attorney general says
the state must decide what to do next now that a federal judge has
determined its newest abortion law is likely unconstitutional.
     Marty Jackley says state officials are weighing whether to
appeal to allow the law from taking effect, discuss a settlement or
do nothing.
     The act would require women seeking abortions to face a
three-day waiting period - the nation's longest - and undergo
counseling at pregnancy help centers that discourage abortion.
     U.S. District Chief Judge Karen Schreier on Thursday granted
Planned Parenthood's preliminary injunction, making the law invalid
while it's being challenged in court.
     Planned Parenthood in its lawsuit said the legislation violates
a woman's constitutional right to abortion established under the
1973 Roe v. Wade ruling.
