Telemedicine Abortion Ban Becomes Law; Gov. Noem Repeals Executive Order
PIERRE, S.D. – Today, Friday, July 1, HB 1318, which bans telemedicine abortions in South Dakota, becomes law. In preparation for the law taking effect, Governor Kristi Noem signed Executive Order 2022-08, which repeals her previous executive order on the subject.
“South Dakota is focused on helping moms who may be facing a crisis pregnancy situation. Those moms should know that telemedicine abortions are not safe for their health – they are four times more likely to cause the woman getting the abortion to end up in the emergency room,” said Governor Kristi Noem. “This law will have no effect on treatment for miscarriages, but doctors who knowingly break the law and prescribe these medications to end a human life will be prosecuted.”
Following the United States Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, South Dakota’s trigger law made all abortions illegal in South Dakota.
Research demonstrates that chemical abortions are four times as likely to cause the woman receiving the abortion to end up in the emergency room following the procedure.
Executive Order 2022-08 repeals Executive Order 2021-12, which banned telemedicine abortions in South Dakota.

Pat is it true that Taffy Taffy Howard still has $100k on hand?
I’d have to look. If so, it’s likely earmarked for the general.
You can buy illegal drugs over the internet now, good luck trying to fight this.
Kristi can grow the police force if the new Fox News talking point of marijuana causes the mass shootings, doesn’t take hold and marijuana becomes legal again. She can have an abortion patrol force, Texas is allowing the civilians do this, but we all know in a police state like SD, it will be the cops that take that $10K if available.
