South Dakota Bans Clinicians From Using Telemedicine To Provide Medication Abortions
HuffPost
Republican Gov. Kristi Noem's order restricting the safe, effective pill is the latest in a wave of red states trying to make abortions dangerous.
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem signed an executive order on Tuesday banning clinicians from prescribing medication abortions through telemedicine, the latest in a wave of red states trying to restrict access amid the growing threat to Roe v. Wade. In her executive order, the Republican governor declared that abortion pills may only be prescribed or dispensed by a doctor who is licensed in South Dakota after an in-person examination. The order also blocks people, including physicians and manufacturers, from providing abortion-inducing medication via courier, delivery, telemedicine or mail service. Abortion-inducing medications are also no longer allowed to be provided in school or on state grounds, according to the order, which also directs the South Dakota Department of Health to develop licensing requirements for “pill only” abortion clinics. The department will also need to collect data on how often medication abortions are performed as a percentage of all abortions and enhance reporting requirements on emergency room complications supposedly related to medication abortions.
