BISMARCK, ND – Attorney General Drew Wrigley today issued a Cease & Desist Order against Prairie Abortion Fund, a North Dakota nonprofit corporation located in Fargo, who is actively promoting and facilitating the unlawful sale of abortion pills in North Dakota.

The Cease & Desist Order alleges Prairie Abortion Fund violated the North Dakota Consumer Fraud Law, N.D.C.C. ch. 51-15, by promoting and facilitating the unlawful sale of counterfeit, unapproved, untested, misbranded, or misrepresented products, the unlawful sale of products without a required prescription, and the unlawful sale and unsupervised use of products required to be administered under the supervision of a physician. “These actions pose a significant health risk to pregnant women and facilitate the violation of North Dakota’s healthcare requirements, in part, by taking doctors out of the equation.” said Attorney General Wrigley.

Prairie Abortion Fund operates a website that promotes and links to other websites that sell unapproved and misbranded abortion pills without a prescription and for unsupervised use in violation of law. “As a North Dakota nonprofit corporation, by referring and actively linking to websites that unlawfully sells products, Prairie Abortion Fund lends credibility and trustworthiness to unlawful websites that otherwise would look much more suspicious.” Wrigley stated.

The websites promoted by Prairie Abortion Fund sell drugs that are not FDA approved and that purport to contain ingredients that require both a prescription and a supervising physician. “Our BCI was able to purchase abortion pills from websites promoted by Prairie Abortion Fund without providing any health information and without providing any verification of identity or age,” Wrigley stated. The Cease & Desist Order requires Prairie Abortion Fund to immediately cease and desist promoting, linking, or referring individuals to organizations or websites that are engaged in unlawful acts or practices.
