North Dakota Judge Bruce Romanick Strikes Down State's Near-Total Abortion Ban
Sep 12, 2024, 06:13 PM
A North Dakota judge, Bruce Romanick, has struck down the state's near-total abortion ban, ruling that it violates the state constitution. The decision asserts that the state constitution guarantees a fundamental right to abortion before fetal viability. This ruling comes after a lawsuit filed by a North Dakota abortion clinic in 2022, challenging the ban on the grounds that it was unconstitutionally vague and infringed on individual liberties. The judge's decision marks a significant victory for abortion rights advocates and will allow abortions to resume in the state. This ruling marks the second time in two years that North Dakota's abortion ban has been overturned.
