North Dakota AG rules Fargo abortion clinic must close

North Dakota’s ban on abortion goes into effect on July 28th.

North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley certified last week’s Supreme Court ruling in a letter to the North Dakota Legislative Council this morning (Tuesday). The state had a trigger mechanism in place regulating abortion if the High Court overturned Roe vs Wade.  The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision last week gives each state the right on whether to allow abortions.

A measure enacted by the 2007 Legislative Assembly bans abortions with exceptions for rape…incest…and preserving the life of the mother.

Tammi Kromenaker, owner and operator Red River Women’s Clinic in Fargo has vowed to move the state’s only abortion clinic to neighboring Moorhead.  A GoFundMe page meant to help with the move had raised more than $760,000 as of Tuesday morning.

The law kicks in 30 days after certification.
