US EditionAG Drew Wrigley issues cease & desist, alleges company unlawfully sold abortion pills
North Dakota AG alleges Prairie Abortion Fund linked to unapproved abortion pill sales that violate consumer fraud laws and pose health risks to women, citing BCI purchases.
- On Jan. 16, North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley filed a cease-and-desist order against Prairie Abortion Fund, demanding the Fargo nonprofit stop promoting unlawful abortion-pill sales.
- Wrigley alleges the nonprofit's website linked to websites selling non-FDA-approved drugs, and the order alleges those referrals violated North Dakota consumer fraud law by promoting unapproved products.
- Bureau of Criminal Investigation agents purchased mifepristone and misoprostol from websites promoted by Prairie Abortion Fund without providing health information or identity verification, and the attorney general says those referrals lent credibility to unlawful vendors.
- That address is the former Red River Women's Clinic, which moved in August 2022 after the Supreme Court allowed North Dakota's abortion ban with exceptions up to six weeks. Wrigley alleges the nonprofit links to unapproved drug sites.
- The nonprofit traces back to the North Dakota Women in Need Abortion Access Fund, founded in 1999, and was rebranded as Prairie Abortion Fund in 2023, with Tammi Kromenaker saying she left early 2023; attempts to contact the organization on Friday were unsuccessful.
