Has he never heard of the underground marketplace?
Headline: South Dakota Searchlight, 1/13/2026
John Hult reports:
Late last year, a New York-based nonprofit called Mayday Health posted abortion rights advertisements at gas stations around South Dakota. The ads, which directed people to a website on medication abortion options, drew a cease-and-desist letter from South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley.
“Abortions are banned in South Dakota except for specific, extenuating circumstances,” Jackley’s office wrote in a press release on the issue. “State law also prohibits the administering or procuring of any medicine, drug or substance to perform an abortion.”
Jackley is suing the organization to stop the ads. Mayday Health countersued in federal court, arguing that South Dakota is trying to suppress constitutionally protected free speech.
In his State of the State speech Tuesday during the first day of the 2026 legislative session at the Capitol in Pierre, Rhoden, a Republican, told a joint session of the state Senate and House of Representatives that the state can do more to stop medication abortion.
