Bruce Whalen, a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, is making abortion an issue in his campaign for U.S. House.

Whalen, a Republican, is running against Rep. Stephanie Herserth, a Democrat. He charges that she is out of touch with South Dakota voters on abortion.

Whalen is pro-life. Herseth has been endorsed by pro-choice groups, voted against some abortion-related legislation and supports repeal of the state's restrictive abortion law.

Herseth leads Whalen in polls.
