The only thing worse than stripping women of their abortion rights is calling it an achievement. Sadly, North Dakotans have once again had their bodily autonomy taken from them, and Republicans are celebrating.
On Nov. 21, 2025, the North Dakota Supreme Court reversed last year’s lower-court ruling that made abortions temporarily legal. The state has now reinstated the law passed in April 2023, which puts a “near-total ban” on abortions. With that, North Dakota has joined 12 other states enforcing bans on abortion at all stages of pregnancy.
