In April, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lifted restrictions on sending drugs that cause abortion by mail, determining that remote sending of the medicine via telemedicine did not increase the risk.
In his executive order, Noem ruled that abortion-inducing drugs such as mifepristone could only be dispensed to a woman by a licensed physician in South Dakota after a face-to-face examination. Data will also be collected on the number of chemical abortions performed, any complications and information to indicate whether the woman was “coerced or sexually trafficked and forced to take the pills,” according to Noem’s order.
It also ruled that no manufacturer, provider or doctor will supply abortion drugs via telemedicine or mail service. Nor can they be provided at any school or state center, including colleges and universities, and the South Dakota Republican claims the “abortion industry” is aimed at young women.
Noem directed the South Dakota Department of Health to “develop a specific abortion clinic license for the pharmaceutical nature of the medical abortion in accordance with the existing surgical abortion clinic license requirements in the Dakota South “.
Noem noted that the FDA is expected to lift more restrictions on abortion drugs beginning Nov. 1 and wrote, “The result is likely an increase in chemical abortions and the resulting complications.”
“South Dakota is a state that values life and prioritizes women’s safety and health over politics by basing public policy on science and data rather than on political discussion points,” Noem wrote in his order.
The move comes shortly after the Texas state government approved a ban on abortions for the past six weeks, even before most women know they are pregnant. It is considered the most restrictive U.S. abortion law, allowing individuals to sue anyone who “helps or incites” an abortion after six weeks for a maximum of $ 10,000 and legal fees.
The new law has been widely criticized for its extreme effects, with President Biden
