Organizers of the campaign to enshrine abortion rights in the South Dakota state constitution announced Friday that Democratic former lawmaker, former magistrate judge and Watertown lawyer Nancy Turbak Berry will lead a new group supporting the effort.
Turbak Berry will chair the Freedom Amendment Coalition to support the Nov. 5 ballot question that would reinstate abortion rights in the state. The announcement came from Dakotans for Health, the ballot question committee that gathered the thousands of signatures required to put the measure on the ballot.
