South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem on Sunday said her state will prosecute doctors who perform abortions and will work to restrict womens access to abortion pills. South Dakota is among 10 states with trigger laws that declared abortion a criminal offense immediately upon the US Supreme Courts decision Friday to strike down the 1973 Roe v. Wade case that established a womens right to have the procedure. Noem, a Republican, said South Dakota will prosecute doctors, not women, who violate its law. Well continue to have those debates on how we can support these mothers and what it means to really make sure we are not prosecuting mothers ever in a situation like this, Noem said on CBS News Face the Nation. [Prosecution] will always be focused toward those doctors who knowingly break the law to perform abortions in our state. The Supreme Court ruling in a Mississippi case banning abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy struck down Roe v. Wade, allowing individual states to prohibit the practice or put restrictions on it.

In South Dakota, all abortions are illegal except if deemed necessary to save the mothers life. There are no other exceptions, including for rape or incest. CBSs Margaret Brennan asked Noem if South Dakota also plans to restrict access to abortion pills, pointing out that Attorney General Merrick Garland warned states about preventing women from receiving the medication, which has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Noem said South Dakotas state legislature doesnt believe that such telemedicine abortion should be available because it is a dangerous situation for those individuals without being medically supervised by a physician. Brennan asked if South Dakota would overrule the FDA and decide which drugs state residents can receive. Many of those decisions are made at the state level, they absolutely are. Thats what states do, Noem said.

Pure evil

No, you won't. Because you'll continue to tear away at the social safety nets that a significant amount of those mothers will need. -_-

A good portion of South Dakota is Native American territory. Let's just give the whole state back.

Boycott the anti choice states.

I don't think boycotting South Dakota is a very hard thing to do for most Americans lol

Wow incest and rape babies are not allowed to get abortion pills ?!, well they just victimized those women themselves and put their lives at danger as they will abort the child one way or another.

Fuck you South Dakota

Strong correlation between anti-choice states and places I'd never want to fucking live in

Fuck you South Dakota

They also will not help those babies or those mothers with housing, food or anything else. Might even give custody to the rapist father some day if the mother can't provide herself.

Welp i guess we can change the purple to red on the abortion map now for s.d.

Doctors in these states need to stop practicing. These morons will vote differently if there is literally nowhere they can go for medical treatment for anything even as small as a cut.

Sounds like America could use some freedom

What a horrible woman

Garland said that states cant ban FDA approved medications.

This is going to work its way to SCOTUS pretty quickly

That's the likely result of a law suit, esp. if it makes it's way to SCOTUS

The opioid "crisis" already set the precedent that states can severely limit FDA-approved medications.
Never underestimate the ability of a moral panic to fuck shit up.

South Dakota voters already approved legalization during the 2020 election, but the reform was struck down by the state Supreme Court following a challenge from the governors office. While activists are still holding out hope that the reform can be enacted legislatively, theyre keeping the option open to go to the ballot again this November if lawmakers fail to act.

Will of the voters my ass.
