North Dakota Upholds Abortion Ban, Prison Time Possible

North Dakota Supreme Court Upholds Abortion Ban, Making It a Felony: The states highest court has reversed a lower courts ruling, allowing a law making abortion a felony to take effect. The law, which was challenged by an abortion clinic, includes exceptions only for life-threatening situations and allows abortions in cases of rape and incest during the first six weeks of pregnancy. The courts decision follows the U.S. Supreme Courts 2022 ruling, which overturned the federal right to abortion and left regulations up to individual states. The Daily News Now! — Every city.
