North Dakota House passes bill banning virtually all abortions after 6 weeks
Fox News
The North Dakota House of Representatives passed a bill banning virtually all abortions after six weeks of pregnancy in a 76-14, largely party-line vote.
Opponents of the bill said six weeks is too early to ban abortions because many women don't know they are pregnant by that time. Supporters of the bill said passing it would further the state's tradition of protecting all life, including the unborn.
Republican Rep. Dan Ruby, of Minot, said in support of the bill on the House floor, "We have a chance to clean up language in our law, make some improvements to it, adjust to it due to the nature of what we did before the overturning of Roe v. Wade to what is being done now."
