North Dakota's Supreme Court Strikes Down Abortion Ban as Unconstitutional.

TL;DR Summary
The North Dakota Supreme Court has ruled that the state's abortion ban is unconstitutional and will not be enforced. The ban, which was set to go into effect after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, would have made it a felony to perform an abortion with only exceptions for rape, incest, or if the mother's life is in danger. The court found that the ban infringed on fundamental rights, including the right to life and safety. The decision means that the current 21-week limit on abortions will remain in place.
