A movement has sprung up in Michigan to illegalize abortion, headed by the Michigan Personhead Amendment.
Georgia is also considering similiar legislation.
President Bush has commented on the South Dakota legislation, saying he disagrees in the number of exception.
Asked about the provisions in the state law, Bush replied, "Well, that, of course, is a state law, but my position has always been three exceptions: rape, incest and the life of the mother."
