Overruling Roe was “straightforward” for Justices Alito, Thomas, and the three “identified liars” on the SCOTUS. It’s also straightforward to see how abortion clinics in sure states should shut. However now very tough authorized questions have to be answered with regards to FDA-certified drugs (federal regulation) versus “unlawful abortions” (as outlined by state regulation), and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem – who has by no means missed a chance to place herself in place to run for president – desires to be one of many first to make it unlawful for South Dakotan girls to obtain a prescription for abortifacients.

In keeping with The Hill:
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) on Sunday stated she is going to ban telemedicine appointments with abortion care suppliers who prescribe tablets on-line within the GOP-controlled state within the wake of the Supreme Court docket’s determination overturning Roe v. Wade.
Noem informed host Margaret Brennan on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that she introduced a invoice ahead in her state to ban the telemedicine appointments with a view to block girls from getting prescription abortion tablets on-line and receiving them by the mail.
“These are very harmful medical procedures,” Noem argued. “We don’t imagine it must be accessible as a result of it’s a harmful scenario for a person with out being medically supervised by a doctor.”
Attention-grabbing. One would suppose that the doctor on the opposite finish of the cellphone would perceive the hazards extra so than Noem. One would suppose that the FDA understands the dangers related to these meds extra so than Noem. But when we’ve realized one factor within the final week it’s that right-wing politicians and justices (redundant) imagine that they know what’s finest for everybody.
That is the subsequent logical step, solely now issues get way more sophisticated.
