South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) on Sunday said doctors who perform abortions will be targeted for prosecution in her state after a new trigger law went into effect following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade on Friday.

Noem told CBS “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan that while South Dakota would charge doctors who violate the abortion ban, the state will not prosecute mothers. “We’ll continue to have those debates on how we can support these mothers and what it means to really make sure we are not prosecuting mothers ever in a situation like this,” she said. “It will always be focused toward those doctors who knowingly break the law to perform abortions in our state.”

And if they travel to a state that refuses to honor extradition requests, what then should South Dakota do?

It’s murder! Murder should always be prosecuted. It’s mind boggling that murder is justifiable just because you can’t see the child.

I'm not saying that but as I said in another thread, what's to stop a neighboring state like Minnesota from refusing, for instance, extradition requests by South Dakota for said individuals?

What then?

I think if it happens this would be something that ends up in the Supreme Court.
