"What came first, North or South Dakota? Thanks to the likes of former President Benjamin Harrison-who deliberately shuffled, reshuffled, and then shuffled again the two papers that would make the two territories into states in 1889- we will never know. But it appears that, as the old adage goes, history has repeated itself-and this time, North Dakota is following its sister state in kicking the First Amendment to the curb and throwing a litigative hissy fit over the abortion pill."
"The letter alleges that PAF violated the Consumer Fraud Law, saying "[PAF] engaged in the unlawful, deceptive, and dangerous practice of advertising, promoting, and facilitating the sale of drugs, namely Abortion Pills, that are counterfeit, misbranded, unlawful, untested, unapproved, or sold in an unlawful manner." Weird use of "untested" there given how mifepristone was approved by the FDA in 2000 and has been proven safe by over 100 studies, but OK!"
"Specifically, Wrigley's letter calls out Plan C Pills, an organization that provides state-to-state details on how to order abortion pills online. It also connects abortion seekers to trusted vendors who can provide affordable care. In an accompanying statement, Wrigley added, "These actions pose a significant health risk to pregnant women and facilitate the violation of North Dakota's healthcare requirements, in part, by taking doctors out of the equation." But it's North Dakota's near-total abortion ban that took out doctors in the first place."
Attorney General Drew Wrigley filed a cease-and-desist against Fargo-based Prairie Abortion Fund for listing abortion providers, rights sites, and emotional support organizations on its website. The letter alleges PAF violated the Consumer Fraud Law by advertising, promoting, and facilitating the sale of abortion pills, calling them counterfeit, misbranded, unlawful, untested, or unapproved. The letter specifically names Plan C Pills as providing state-to-state ordering details and vendor connections. Wrigley characterized these actions as health risks that bypass healthcare requirements and remove doctors from care. North Dakota's near-total abortion ban left no in-state clinics after Roe's overturning.
