PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — A legislative committee has approved a measure that could ban a surgical abortion procedure in South Dakota.

The House Health and Human Services Committee voted Tuesday for a plan that would prohibit physicians from beheading fetuses.

Republican Rep. Isaac Latterell says if beheading is part of an abortion procedure called dilation and evacuation, it shouldn’t be allowed in South Dakota.

He says that abortion advocates say that such abortions aren’t performed in South Dakota. Planned Parenthood didn’t immediately return a request for comment.

Planned Parenthood’s website lists dilation and evacuation procedures as typically occurring after 16 weeks, but says the Sioux Falls clinic doesn’t perform abortions beginning at 14 weeks.

State law limits abortions after 24 weeks of gestation, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization supporting abortion access.
