"Abortion ban rejection might leave supporters with nowhere to go"

"Abortion ban rejection might leave supporters with nowhere to go": The Argus-Leader of Sioux Falls, South Dakota today contains an article that begins, "For the second election in a row, South Dakota voters rejected by a double-digit margin an attempt to ban abortion in the state. The margin for Initiated Measure 11 -- a proposed law to criminalize abortion unless done in cases of rape or pregnancy or to safe the life or health of a woman -- was 55-45 with 736 of 799 precincts reported early Wednesday."

The Denver Post reports today that "'Personhood' push rejected; The amendment called for full legal rights from the point of conception; Foes saw a Pandora's box"

The Rocky Mountain News reports that "Voters reject Amendment 48 'personhood' issue."

The San Francisco Chronicle reports that "Prop. 4, abortion notification, losing."

And The Los Angeles Times reports that "Ballot initiatives to curtail abortions defeated; South Dakota's Measure 11, aimed at triggering a Supreme Court showdown on Roe vs. Wade, is losing soundly; Bans on gay marriage appear headed for passage."
