Legal Battle Over Abortion Ban in North Dakota: State Supreme Court Divided on Constitutionality
Abortion has been reinstated as illegal in North Dakota as the state's Supreme Court failed to reach a majority decision to uphold a judge's ruling that had overturned the ban last year. The court was split, with three justices finding the ban to be unconstitutionally vague under the state constitution, while the other two justices disagreed, stating that the law is not unconstitutional.
