The North Dakota Supreme Court ruled on Friday that the state's abortion ban will not be enforced while the appeal process is ongoing. This decision comes after a judge previously deemed the ban unconstitutional in September, leading to the current legal battle in the state's highest court.
Since the only abortion provider in North Dakota relocated to Minnesota in 2022, the state has been without any abortion clinics. Currently, abortions can only be performed in the state for life- or health-preserving reasons at a hospital.
