A North Dakota judge struck down the state’s near-total abortion ban Thursday, ruling North Dakota’s Constitution ensures the right to an abortion before fetal viability. While the ruling is a major victory for abortion rights, North Dakota no longer has any abortion clinics after the overturning of Roe v. Wade triggered the state’s ban. If the ruling is not overturned in an appeal or the state Legislature does not pass a new ban, North Dakota could join Minnesota as a haven for patients seeking abortion care in the Midwest.
