Activists Reacting To ND Near Total Abortion Ban Law

(Bismarck, ND) — Activists are speaking out after Governor Burgum signed one of the most strict abortion bans in the country. The new law bans abortion in the state, with exceptions for rape and incest up to six weeks of pregnancy. Supporters say the bill simply clarifies the state’s existing ban. Opponents say the bill represents a huge change in the state’s trigger law. The new ban is expected to face pushback as a challenge to the original trigger law makes its way through the courts.
