It'll still need its day in court
For small government reasons, if you give this medicine to someone you go to prison >

No no. You have it wrong.
If you say someone could benefit from taking an abortion pill, you get sent to jail.
Similar to how we send people to mail for saying Such Dakota would be better if Noem was No-em longer Governor, right? >

It may be time for a national pharmacists group to step up and defend their members.  This is meant to intimidate them, even if it isn't lawful, they will be afraid of losing their jobs or being prosecuted.  The groups need to back them up and support any legal fees they may incur. >

This seems like a surefire way to ensure a mass exodus of health care providers. 
I can't see how that'd be beneficial for any state...wouldn't it just create economically depressed areas because other people who can't afford to move and don't have access to Healthcare just langish? 
Or go back to chewing on roots in the ground...there's ripple effects that people aren't thinking about. >

Why would it cause an exodus? They'll just stop prescribing the pills. >

Who wants to live and work in a state where you can be thrown in jail for doing your job? >

I agree with you, I wouldn't want to live and work in many of these Red states. But the pharmacy will just refuse to prescribe them while the courts settle the issue, I don't see pharmacists' livelihood at risk here. >

In the short to mid-term, you are likely correct. Long-term if the court doesn’t strike it down? Who’s to say.
Moving from state to state can be very burdensome, though. I guess if this law were passed and allowed to stand, you’d at least see medical personnel choosing to start their careers elsewhere than deal with being jerked around by politicians. >

Absolutely. Just like how we see many younger gens making plans to avoid certain states like Texas and Florida, I'm sure if we see policies like this stick then South Dakota will be added to the list. I know I take into consideration the political environment of a state before even considering job opportunities. >

It’s hard for me to think there’s any young person anywhere who can’t wait to go off on their own so they can finally live their dream in … South Dakota. >

When I was younger I knew friends who wanted to move to places like Montana and Wyoming, so they exist I guess. >

Pretty sure the Supremacy Clause of the constitution wins out here, since the federal government created the FDA and the FDA allows this medication to be sold.
