25 April 2023 at 02:11 Abortion banned after the 6th week in North Dakota North Dakota’s Republican governor Doug Burgum has signed a law that bans abortion in the state after the 6th week, with no exceptions for rape or incest. The ban, which is one of the strictest in the United States, was supposed to take effect immediately, but a court order last month blocked such a ban until a case about whether the law is in line with the constitution is decided. Lawmakers said they would pass the law anyway to send a signal to the court that the people of the state want to restrict abortion. Supporters of the law say it will protect all life, while opponents say it will have serious consequences for women and girls. (NTB)
