South Dakota Gov. Kristi L. Noem (R) on Tuesday issued an executive order restricting telemedicine abortions and abortion medications, days after she called for a review of the state’s abortion laws.

The order mandates that abortion medication can be prescribed or dispensed only after an in-person examination by a doctor licensed in South Dakota. It also bans abortion medication from “being provided via courier, delivery, telemedicine, or mail service,” as well as on state grounds or in schools.

Social conservatives like Noem have been emboldened by the Supreme Court’s decision last week to not block a Texas law banning abortions as early as six weeks into pregnancy, or before many people know they are pregnant. In Texas, another bill that has been sent to Gov. Greg Abbott (R) for his approval also restricts abortion medications.

The Texas law, which does not provide exceptions for rape or incest, relies on private citizens to sue people who aid women in getting a prohibited abortion. That legal intricacy has allowed it to circumvent the guarantee in the landmark Roe v. Wade case that women have a right to end their pregnancies before viability, and that states may not impose undue burdens on that decision, abortion rights advocates say.

1. Can they legally search mail or delivery services? Will they monitor phone calls, credit cards...

sounds like a police state to me...

2. Can't legally go into your mail, but who knows what they might try.

6. Compliance is the responsibility of the dispensary.

A legitimate dispensary will not ship to a state which prohibits shipments to its residents.

7. Do Republican Govs have an unannounced contest for who can be the baddest Nazi Dictator?

Because it sure seems like it.

10. They're all vying to be the next Donald Trump.

And since Republicans have no policies, their means of competing for the 2024 nomination is to out-crazy one another. Republicans never get less outrageous, they always push the envelope as much as they can. And, mostly, voters reward them for their outrage and the show they put on. I wish Democrats would learn to use their power and to stop worrying about their own voters so much. From what I’ve read, most Democrats want them to do more and to be bolder in dealing with Republicans instead of worrying about what McConnell might do in the future if the filibuster is gone. Why is it that Democrats respect Republican wishes when they’re in charge and Republicans always tell Democrats to shove off when they’re in charge. There has been no reciprocation since McConnell gained power, and there will be none after he’s gone because this Republican Party seeks power for one purpose only, and that is to preserve the wealth of billionaires and white privilege throughout the country.

9. Explain to me how governors issuing EOs mandating masks

are over reaching their power, but one interfering with interstate commerce is not?

18. Excellent post!

11. From a Gov who bows to Trump. damn

[Roy Rolling]

12. Deplorables

It takes stronger and stronger medicine to control an addict. Politicians must now outperform each other to prove to deplorable voters they are the most deplorable.

Politicians are tools, but the deplorable voters controlling them are dangerous morons.

13. Goood luck with blocking a PHONE CALL, fool

I can order anything i want from where ever i want even in GA

14. No mask mandate but search your mail!

I'd be surprised if a governor has the power to search, limit delivery of carrier packages. Interstate Commerce and all that. Thus far, for example, it's not illegal to deliver contraceptives. It's not like it's contraband.

15. Ah yes the Snow Queen is now a fucking autocratic wanna be doctor....who knows best on privacy...

I think the country should get to see her medical records and who she see.....for her ailments.....

16. Way to start a black market in your State

Does Kristi have stock in abortion medicines?

The price will skyrocket. Stocks will go up. Just look at all the money opioids brought into the Sacklers.

Get a bunch of the medicine. India sells it over the counter, no prescription neccasary. And sell it person to person. Just try and stop abortions when all you need to do is take 2 pills.

They are never going to put the genie back in the bottle or that yoke around women's neck again, no matter how hard they try.

17. Yo Indian Land,

time to begin a new business. Gov Me Too needs to please dumpy Trumpy.

[LiberalFighter]

19. I wonder what medications she is on?

[Buckeyeblue]

20. That sounds like legislation not executive order

What is the penalty for violations? This one gets stayed...probably pretty quickly.

[marie999]

21. Isn't this unconstitutional according to Griswold v. Connecticut?

I doubt that the Supreme Court would have allowed Roe v. Wade if it wasn't for Griswold V. Connecticut.

22. So a girl or woman in Bumfuck SD

Hundreds of miles from the nearest clinic is screwed twice over... such compassion
