Governor of North Dakota Signs Six-Week Abortion Ban

North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R) signed a bill Monday that would ban abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, marking one of the strictest abortion restrictions in the country.

“This bill clarifies and refines existing state law … and reaffirms North Dakota as a pro-life state,” Burgum said in a statement, reported by the Associated Press.
