North Dakota’s latest try at abortion ban could face lawsuit

Associated Press  

North Dakota has become the latest state to ban abortion in most cases — again. But soon after last year’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health decision did just that, a judge said the blanket abortion ban could not be enforced while courts decided if it complies with the state constitution. The director of Red River Women’s Clinic, which sued over the previous ban, said lawyers at the Center for Reproductive Rights are assessing the new one and considering whether to challenge it in court, too. “North Dakota lawmakers are attempting to bypass the state constitution and court system with this total ban,” Smith said. “They are simply trying to repackage a ban that the North Dakota Supreme Court recently said likely violates North Dakotans’ fundamental rights under the state constitution.” ___ HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO OTHER STATES?
