Summary

Background: House Bill 1313 would require education in prenatal human growth and development.

Our Stance: The ACLU of South Dakota opposes House Bill 1313.

This legislation would require school districts to show students an ultrasound video detailing the development of a fetus, and the instruction materials must come from an anti-abortion entity. This is clearly a bill that attempts to insert a political agenda into our children's curriculums.
