A former North Dakota abortion provider challenged one of the nation’s strictest abortion laws, arguing the law “fragrantly violates” a court ruling supporting the right of patients in the state to obtain the procedure to preserve their life or health.
. The law outlaws all abortions except in cases where women could face death or a “serious health risk” or pregnancies caused by rape and incest, but only in the first six weeks, when many women often don’t know they are pregnant.
Bill sponsors pitched the changes as clearing up language in the state's overlapping abortion laws, including the trigger ban and a 2013 law that sought to ban abortions as soon as cardiac activity is detected. Mehdizadeh said it is still "pretty confusing" what the law allows, such as “when people are actually allowed to provide an abortion under the exceptions.”
Republican state Sen. Janne Myrdal, the bill's sponsor, said she expected the amended complaint, which she hadn't read. She said the judge should dismiss the case and the plaintiffs should sue on the merits of the new law, “instead of amending an old case where the chapter is no longer there.”“I hope that if anybody experiences rape that they immediately, immediately go to a hospital and get a rape kit, get it taken care of so we can go after the rapist,” Myrdal said.
