Judge overturns North Dakota’s near-total abortion ban
The ban was the state’s second attempt to block the procedure. But the judge ruled the state constitution gives women a “fundamental right to choose abortion.”
“This is a win for reproductive freedom and means it is now much safer to be pregnant in North Dakota,” said attorney Meetra Mehdizadeh of the Center for Reproductive Rights, which argued the case. “Hospitals and doctors no longer have their hands tied and can provide abortions to patients with complications.”
But she noted the challenge moving forward with no regular abortion providers, saying the ban’s damage “cannot be repaired overnight. … Clinics are medical facilities that need to acquire doctors, staff, equipment — they can take years to open, like most health care centers.”
