North Dakota has passed a measure that will let voters decide whether to end abortion in the state. The measure puts to a ballot vote a possible constitutional amendment saying life begins at conception. State legislators also passed another bill imperiling abortion access by requiring doctors at the state’s only remaining abortion clinic to obtain hospital admitting privileges. North Dakota lawmakers have already passed what would be the strictest abortion ban in the country, ending abortion when an embryonic heartbeat is detected, which can happen at six weeks of pregnancy or even earlier.
