North Dakota AG Stops Group That’s Illegally Trafficking Abortion Drugs
Last Friday, in an aggressive but totally justified action, North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley “issued a Cease & Desist Order against Prairie Abortion Fund, a North Dakota nonprofit corporation located in Fargo, who is actively promoting and facilitating the unlawful sale of abortion pills in North Dakota.
What specifically are they alleged to be doing?
Prairie Abortion Fund violated the North Dakota Consumer Fraud Law, N.D.C.C. ch. 51-15, by promoting and facilitating the unlawful sale of counterfeit, unapproved, untested, misbranded, or misrepresented products, the unlawful sale of products without a required prescription, and the unlawful sale and unsupervised use of products required to be administered under the supervision of a physician.

Wrigley further alleges that “Our BCI [Bureau of Criminal Investigation] was able to purchase abortion pills from websites promoted by Prairie Abortion Fund without providing any health information and without providing any verification of identity or age.”
Consequently, “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,” Wrigley said, adding “As a North Dakota nonprofit corporation, by referring and actively linking to websites that unlawfully sells products, Prairie Abortion Fund lends credibility and trustworthiness to unlawful websites that otherwise would look much more suspicious.”
What does the Cease & Desist Order require? That “Prairie Abortion Fund immediately cease and desist promoting, linking, or referring individuals to organizations or websites that are engaged in unlawful acts or practices.”
