North Dakota , Becomes Latest State , to Pass Strict Abortion Ban.
On April 24, North Dakota adopted one of the United States'
strictest abortion laws, banning the procedure
with few exceptions up to six weeks of gestation.
This bill clarifies and refines
existing state law… and reaffirms
North Dakota as a pro-life state, Doug Burgum, Republican governor of North Dakota, via 'The Guardian'.
'The Guardian' reports that the new law
allows abortions up to six weeks only in
the case of rape, incest or medical emergency.
North Dakota has always
been pro-life and believed in
valuing the moms and children
both. We’re pretty happy and
grateful that the governor
stands with that value, Janne Myrdal, Republican senator, via 'The Guardian'.
Since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned
Roe v. Wade last year, numerous states
have moved to ban or restrict the procedure.
Currently, 13 states have already
put bans in place on abortion
at all stages of pregnancy.
Meanwhile, at least 20 Democratic
states have launched a network
to strengthen access to abortions.
'The Guardian' reports that North Dakota
no longer has any abortion clinics, after
the state's last facility in Fargo was shut down.
The owner of that facility, the Red River Women's
Clinic, continues to pursue a lawsuit challenging the
constitutionality of North Dakota's abortion bans.
I don’t think women in North Dakota
are going to accept this and there will be
action in the future to get our rights back.
Our legislature is overwhelmingly
pro-pregnancy, but I think women in the
state would like to make their own decisions, Liz Conmy, Democratic representative for North Dakota, via 'The Guardian'
