(Reuters) – A North Dakota state court judge on Thursday overturned the state’s strict abortion ban, clearing the way for abortion to become legal in the state.
Judge Bruce Romanick found that the state constitution protects women’s right to abortion before the fetus is viable, siding with abortion providers challenging the ban. The order will take effect within 14 days.
