North Dakota's only abortion provider filed a lawsuit in state court Thursday attempting to block enforcement of the state's trigger ban.
The trigger law, passed in 2007 by the North Dakota Legislature, would ban nearly all abortions in the state after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last month. North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley certified the Supreme Court decision a few days after the ruling came down in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, meaning North Dakota's trigger ban is due to go into effect July 28, 30 days after his certification.
In the lawsuit, the Red River Women's Clinic argues the ban goes against the state constitution.
