After Roe: Abortion pills
The Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade has further complicated the already complex issue of abortion pills.

Kristi Noem, a Republican, said women who choose to have medication abortions should not be prosecuted but warned on "This Week" that "doctors who knowingly violate the law should be prosecuted."
