North Dakota's latest try at abortion ban could face lawsuit

With the enforcement of one abortion ban held up by the courts, North Dakota lawmakers are trying a different version. The new one, signed into law this week, includes exceptions for rape and incest — but only if the abortions are obtained in the first six weeks of pregnancy. An advocacy group is considering suing. The state joins a handful that have passed new abortion bans this year — and several that have tweaked their abortion policy as the landscape continues to shift in the aftermath of the U.S. Supreme Court last year overturning the Roe v. Wade ruling.
