Finding verified care as a South Dakota resident

Because of South Dakota's ban, in-state clinics no longer provide abortion care; residents are typically seen in Minnesota or via lawful telehealth. Use the NAF hotline (1-800-772-9100) rather than a search engine — it verifies providers and screens out look-alike "crisis pregnancy centers" that advertise heavily to abortion-seekers.
