A North Dakota judge extended a pause on the state's trigger law banning abortion while legal challenges continue to play out in court.
While Romanick wasn’t convinced by the anti-abortion plaintiffs’ arguments on the merits of providing the procedure itself, he said he had little choice other than to maintain the status quo in the state.
North Dakota passed an abortion ban in 2007, but a judge ruled a preliminary injunction would maintain the status quo of allowing abortion in the state to continue."The citizens have waited 15 years to have the statute enacted, in light of this length of time, any additional delay in the enactment of the statute would be minimal," he wrote."Therefore, any interest the State may have in effectuating the statute, at this time, is less than the injuries caused to RRWC.
