North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum signed an abortion ban at six weeks of pregnancy — even in cases of rape or incest — into law on Monday.

 

“This bill clarifies and refines existing state law ... and reaffirms North Dakota as a pro-life state,” Burgum, a Republican, said in a statement.

 

The law, one of the strictest in the country, takes effect immediately.

6 weeks is a little thin on time to decide & organize.  Especially for low income, and paying for it, unless free on Medicaid coverage, which it should be, if it isn't all ready.  One less kid has got to be cheaper for the healthcare system's bottom line.

 

Guess people will finally start to be responsible with the sex life ... ???? ... or not.

 

Homosexual #s may rise ... ????

To save time, how about we just copy and paste the Florida discussion from a couple of weeks ago?  Or is there anything in the North Dakota law that is different...

Florida was bad enough, Dakota even worse. Rape or incest now within the first 6 weeks whereas in Florida at least they gave 15 for that.
