Section 26-23E-7 Prescription of abortion-inducing drugs. Only a physician may give,
sell, dispense, administer, or otherwise prescribe an abortion-inducing drug. Because
the failure and complications from medical abortion increase with advancing gestational
age, because the physical symptoms of medical abortion can be identical to the symptoms
of ectopic pregnancy, and because abortion-inducing drugs do not treat ectopic pregnancies
but rather are contraindicated in ectopic pregnancies, the physician giving, selling, dispensing,
administering, or otherwise providing or prescribing the abortion-inducing drug must
first examine the pregnant woman in person and document, in the woman's medical chart, the
gestational age and intrauterine location of the pregnancy prior to giving, selling, dispensing,
administering, or otherwise providing or prescribing the abortion-inducing drug. (Act
2013-79, p. 165, §7.)...
