South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem announced her administration will ban appointments with abortion providers who prescribe pills over the internet following the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade last week.

In an interview on Sunday morning, the Republican governor told CBS News that she introduced a bill to ban telemedicine appointments in a bid from barring women from obtaining prescription abortion pills through the mail and online. South Dakota on Friday enacted a trigger law that bans most abortions—making the procedure a felony—after Roe v. Wade was scrapped.
