North Dakota Governor Signs Strict Abortion Bans into Law
TL;DR Summary
North Dakota has enacted a near-total ban on abortion, with exceptions for rape, incest, and the mother's health, but only within the first six weeks of pregnancy. The new law takes immediate effect and is likely to face legal challenges. North Dakota is now at least the 14th state with an active ban on nearly all abortions. The State Supreme Court had blocked a similar ban last month. The Red River Women's Clinic, the state's sole abortion provider, filed a lawsuit against the law.
