Though a proposed ban on nearly all abortions was voted down in 2006, Stan Lorenz of Harrisburg says he thinks at least some voters are willing to take another look at the issue.

"I think there will be people giving it a second look and I think it's always going to come up. It's always going to be an issue," said Lorenz.

This time around the issue can be narrowed down to one word: exceptions.

An ad for Vote Yes For Life, the group supporting the ban, emphasizes the exceptions the ban has for rape, incest and health of the mother, something many voters indicated an interest in in 2006.

But the first ad from the South Dakota Campaign for Healthy Families, the group that opposes the ban, uses one woman's story to call those exceptions into question.

Dr. Glenn Ridder is the Medical Director for the Alpha Center, a pro-life group.

They say the language and the purpose of the ban are clear.

"Initiated 11 is an attempt to take abortion out of the realm of birth control," said Dr. Ridder.

Stan Lorenz says he's against abortion and understands that argument, but he says it will take more than that for him to vote for the ban in November.

"Just knowing the facts that I know right now, I would be against it. It would have to be something really convincing for me to vote otherwise," said Lorenz.

We know that both sides of this debate are spending a lot of money on their campaigns. Tuesday the South Dakota Campaign for Healthy Families said they will be spending roughly one million dollar in the next six weeks to have their message heard and Vote Yes for Life has actually been running its ad longer.
