<\/div>

A North Dakota judge who blocked the state’s law protecting preborn children from abortion has been ordered to reconsider his decision by the state Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

Judge Bruce Romanick blocked<\/a> the state’s trigger law just one day before it was due to take effect, after siding with what was previously North Dakota’s only abortion facility. Red River Women\u2019s Clinic filed a lawsuit contesting the law and then moved across state lines<\/a> into Minnesota.<\/p>\n

Despite the fact that Red River was no longer operating in North Dakota, Romanick still agreed that the law protecting preborn children from abortion would cause “significant harm” and could hurt medical providers and pregnant women in North Dakota if allowed to take effect. But the North Dakota Supreme Court evidently disagrees<\/a> with this ruling, ordering Romanick to reconsider the abortion facility’s chances of success at contesting the trigger law \u2014 something he refused to take into consideration in his previous ruling. He said this \u201cwould essentially have the court determine the final validity of the parties’ claims.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jonathan Turley, a professor at George Washington University Law School, told ABC News that the state Supreme Court ruling was to be expected, regardless of the subject matter: abortion. \u201cThis is entirely, if not embarrassingly, predictable,\u201d Turley said. \u201cJudge Romanick\u2019s opinion was notably disconnected from the governing standard on preliminary injunctions. It was strikingly improvisational and the Supreme Court is ordering the court to return to the more scripted standard for such applications.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meetra Mehdizadeh, an attorney for the Center for Reproductive Rights, still argued that Romanick made the right decision, despite not keeping to the legal standard. \u201cNorth Dakotans undoubtedly deserve the ability to make personal decisions about their own bodies and lives, and providers should not be afraid to do their jobs in caring for their patients,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Romanick previously prevented the trigger law from taking effect in July<\/a> as well, saying that Attorney General Drew Wrigley \u201cprematurely attempted to execute\u201d the trigger law before the official judgment overturning Roe v. Wade<\/em> had been released.<\/p>\n
