With the recent overturn of Roe vs. Wade by The United States Supreme Court the women and other respective birthing persons of North Dakota are in serious danger!

Do to the fact that federally abortion is no longer a protected practice, two trigger laws are being inacted as of July 28, 2022.

The first being: House Bill 1466, signed into law by former Governor John Hoeven in 2007, bans abortion except in the cases of rape, incest, or saving the mother’s life. Under the statute, a physician who performs an abortion could be charged with a Class C felony.

A second law bans the dismembering of a living unborn child, also known as the dilation and evacuation abortion method, except in the circumstance of a medical emergency. This stems from House Bill 1546, which Gov. Doug Burgum signed in 2019.

Restricting access to abortion is dangerous as we have learned from our Elders in Pre-Roe times. The circumstances on what is considered a "medical emergency" has always been a gray area that has put a great many in harms way. In addition having to prove the validity in a case of rape or incest to be provided access to abortion puts a great deal of unnecessary trauma and burden on victims and families alike. 

GATE KEEPING ABORTION IS GATE KEEPING HEALTH CARE.

We demand the state of North Dakota repeals these trigger laws to protect all state wide from not only potentially losing their own lives but losing the lives of the ones they love. The right to abortion is between a person and their doctor no one else!
