What came first, North or South Dakota? Thanks to the likes of former President Benjamin Harrison-who deliberately shuffled, reshuffled, and then shuffled again the two papers that would make the two territories into states in 1889- we will never know. But it appears that, as the old adage goes, history has repeated itself-and this time, North Dakota is following its sister state in kicking the First Amendment to the curb and throwing a litigative hissy fit over the abortion pill.
On Tuesday, Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill (R) laughably accused the California-based Dr. Remy Coeytaux of being a drug dealer after he allegedly mailed abortion pills into the state, charging him with "criminal abortion by means of abortion-inducing drugs." It's the second time the state's top anti-abortion tyrants have indicted an out-of-state doctor. "This is not healthcare; it's drug dealing," Murrill announced in a statement following the indictment.
