South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem said the Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade follows the science on abortion and doctors, never pregnant women, should be prosecuted.

"It's still about rights and liberties," Noem said on "Fox & Friends" Sunday about the Supreme Court ruling. "It's about every single right, every single life having the right to live. And technology has developed. Science has revealed more and more of what's going on in the womb. We know more today than we did 15 or 20 years ago. I think it's incredibly important that we use that science to recognize that every single life is precious and that it deserves to be protected under the United States Constitution." 

In an appearance on ABC’s "This Week," Noem pointed to the science in defending the Supreme Court’s ruling. "I'd encourage them to continue to follow the science, to continue to follow what we know to be true today with the technology that's been advanced," Noem said, referring to women who do not feel like either the mother or the unborn child is a victim in an abortion.
