An anti-abortion group's lawsuit to invalidate an abortion rights measure appearing on South Dakota's statewide ballot won't be resolved until after the November election. In an unusual move on Thursday, the court issued a media advisory addressing apparent confusion over the timing of the trial. It was initially scheduled to begin next week.

The release describes how, over about two weeks, the case was reassigned from Judge John Pekas after he learned of his wife’s need for surgery. However, the case then was assigned back to him after another judge was removed from the case. In a statement, Life Defense Fund spokesperson Caroline Woods said both parties were surprised the trial was not going to happen next week.
“After an immense amount of preparation, Life Defense Fund is deeply disappointed that we are not allowed to provide our evidence to the court,” she said. Dakotans for Health co-founder Rick Weiland said, “I think for us the bottom line is that through this whole process and just trying to stop the voters of South Dakota from weighing in, and they’ve been unsuccessful every step of the way, and now their hope was to have a trial during the height of the election, and that’s not going to happen. ... We’re going to have a vote, not a trial.
