Under the new law, an abortion in the case of rape or incest would be permissible only in the first six weeks of pregnancy, a time when most women have not yet realized they are pregnant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/04\/24\/us\/abortion-ban-north-dakota.html\">New York Times<\/a>: \u201cUnder the earlier ban, providers who performed an abortion to save the life of a mother could face felony prosecution. The provider would need to offer an \u2018affirmative defense\u2019 proving that the abortion was medically necessary within the confines of the state law. Under the new version of the law, the exceptions do not require an affirmative defense from providers. But providers could still face criminal charges if they violate the exceptions detailed in the law.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/abortion-north-dakota-six-week-ban-2bccde2925d30dd4772aaed84f3c2d98\">Associated Press<\/a>: \u201cNorth Dakota no longer has any abortion clinics. Last summer, the state\u2019s only facility, the Red River Women\u2019s Clinic, shut its doors in Fargo and moved operations a short distance across the border to Moorhead, Minnesota, where abortion remains legal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Doug Burgum signed one of the strictest abortion bans in the country as North Dakota governor, with no exceptions for victims of rape or incest after six weeks.
