North Dakota enacts one of the strictest abortion bans in the US.
TL;DR Summary
North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum has signed into law a near-total ban on abortion, allowing the procedure only within the first six weeks of pregnancy and only in cases of rape and incest or to prevent death of the patient. The law is one of the strictest in the country and has been criticized by health experts who argue that six weeks is too early for most women to know they are pregnant. The bill passed 42-5 in the state Senate last week and reaffirms North Dakota as a "pro-life state."
