North Dakota Governor Enacts One of the Strictest Abortion Bans in the US
TL;DR Summary
North Dakota's Republican Governor, Doug Burgum, has signed a law banning abortion throughout pregnancy, with slim exceptions up to six weeks' gestation, even in cases of rape or incest. The law is designed to take effect immediately, but last month the state Supreme Court ruled a previous ban is to remain blocked while a lawsuit over its constitutionality proceeds. The new ban is expected to face legal challenges, and opponents contend it will have dire consequences for women and girls.
