The state's only abortion clinic filed a lawsuit to challenge the ban, arguing it is unconstitutional.
"We're relieved that a North Dakota state court has blocked its devastating trigger ban for now. If allowed to go into effect, this near-total abortion ban would close the state's sole abortion clinic, leaving North Dakotans with no clinic within the state to turn for essential health care," said Meetra Mehdizadeh, staff attorney at the Center for Reproductive Rights, which is representing the clinic.
"We will do everything in our power to fight this ban and keep abortion accessible in North Dakota for as long as possible."
