Abortion rights activists capitalize on Gov. Noem shooting her dog

(AP) – Abortion-rights activists are capitalizing on the backlash against South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem’s dog-killing revelation in her new book.
In “No Going Back,” Noem disclosed that she shot and killed her 14-month-old dog Cricket in a gravel pit after the dog attacked chickens and performed poorly during a pheasant hunt.
Supporters of an abortion-rights ballot question in South Dakota have since begun selling bumper stickers with a drawing of a dog’s head and the question, “Where’s Cricket?”
Proceeds from the sales go to Dakotans for Health. That’s the ballot question committee supporting the Nov. 5 ballot measure that would insert abortion rights into the state constitution.
About 450 people have purchased bumper stickers.
South Dakota’s abortion ban went into effect immediately after Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022. The ban permits abortions only to save “the life of the pregnant female.”
Governor Noem supports the state’s abortion ban.
