Hundreds of people protested at the state capitol building in Bismarck, North Dakota, on Monday over a series of anti-choice measures that could end abortion in the state. Republican Gov. Jack Dalrymple has until Thursday to decide whether to enact the country’s strictest abortion ban, barring abortion after an embryonic heartbeat can be detected — something that happens so early many women have not realized they are pregnant yet. Also on his desk is a measure mandating hospital-admitting privileges for abortion providers and another measure that would make North Dakota the first state to ban abortions performed because of genetic problems with the fetus.
