On Monday, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum signed<\/a> legislation protecting nearly all preborn children from abortion. The law took effect immediately and includes few exceptions.<\/p>\n

SB 2150<\/a>\u00a0prohibits most abortions, which the law defines as an act that carries “the intent to terminate the clinically diagnosable pregnancy of a woman… with knowledge the termination by those means will with reasonable likelihood cause the death of the unborn child.” It includes exceptions for women facing “death or a serious health risk” throughout pregnancy. It also contains exceptions for survivors pregnant from rape or incest during the first six weeks<\/em> of gestation.<\/p>\n

In addition, the bill ensures that the state\u2019s Department of Health & Human Services publishes information on the services available for women throughout pregnancy, the development of preborn children, and the risks of abortion, as well as the existence of abortion pill reversal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis bill clarifies and refines existing state law… and reaffirms North Dakota as a pro-life state,\u201d Burgum said in a statement.<\/p>\n

In March, the North Dakota Supreme Court ruled<\/a> a similar law to be unconstitutional. That law was a trigger law set to take effect upon the overturning of\u00a0Roe v. Wade<\/em>, which occurred in June 2022. Like SB 2150, it would have made committing abortion a felony except in cases of rape, incest, or if the mother’s life was at risk. It is expected that SB 2150 will face a legal challenge as well.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers in North Dakota said they passed SB 2150 in part as a message to the state Supreme Court that the people of the state want abortion restricted.\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re going to send another message to the North Dakota Supreme Court,\u201d\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0House Majority Leader Mike Lefor. \u201cThis is what this Legislature wants. We want pro-life in North Dakota.\u201d<\/p>\n

North Dakota’s new law is being called<\/a> “one of the strictest anti-abortion laws in the country” as the state joins more than half a dozen others to enact pro-life laws since the fall of Roe v. Wade<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“North Dakota has always been pro-life and believed in valuing the moms and children both,” Sen. Janne Myrdal said<\/a> in an interview. “We’re pretty happy and grateful that the governor stands with that value.”<\/p>\n
