BREAKING: North Dakota Supreme Court Says "Trigger" Ban Violates State Constitution
HUGE news, Team! The North Dakota Supreme Court ruled, in a case brought by the Center for Reproductive Rights, that the state's total abortion ban violates the state constitution and should remain blocked. Today's decision means that abortion will remain legal and people's access to essential care will be protected in North Dakota while the case proceeds in a lower court.
When Roe v. Wade fell last year, the Center sprang into action fighting trigger bans across the United States—North Dakota was one of those states. We were ready then, and we will continue fighting to protect and defend abortion rights for all people. Your support today will help us to keep up the pressure. [[link removed]]

This is a critical step forward for the people of North Dakota and reproductive rights across the United States. In its decision, the court found that abortion providers' challenge to the "trigger" law is likely to succeed and that ban likely violates North Dakotans' fundamental rights under the state constitution.
But this isn't the end of the case. Now, the case returns to the lower courts to decide if the ban—which outlaws all abortions in the state—is permanently blocked. We can continue this fight thanks to your critical support. [[link removed]]
In state after state, people have made clear that they want the right to abortion protected, yet state officials continue to ignore the will of their citizens. Every win means another day that people are able to access essential and lifesaving health care...another day that fundamental human rights are preserved. Your donation today will help us push for more critical wins like this. [[link removed]]

Abortion has become illegal in twelve states since Roe was overturned, leaving over 70 million people without access to abortion care. We have a lot of work to do, but today the court rightfully stopped one of the most extreme laws in the country from taking effect and depriving North Dakotans of their reproductive freedom.
Onward!
