The North Dakota Catholic Conference is pleased with the North Dakota Supreme Court’s recent ruling that upholds the state’s current law protecting unborn children from abortion. The conference remains committed to helping build a culture of life in North Dakota that protects both women and children, born and unborn.

The court’s ruling overturns the Bismarck trial court’s radical decision on appeal that would effectively have allowed for abortion on demand in North Dakota before viability. If this radical decision had been upheld, a single judge would have put North Dakota into a place it has never been before and thrown out 50 years of common-sense pro-life legislation consistently supported by North Dakotans.

David Tamisiea is executive director of the North Dakota Catholic Conference.
