On Tuesday, a North Dakota judge ruled that the state can continue to enforce its abortion ban even in situations where an abortion is necessary to preserve the pregnant person’s life or health—at least for now. The judge denied a request from the Center for Reproductive Rights for an injunction to block the ban from being enforced in medical emergencies amid the organization’s ongoing lawsuit against the state, at least until the district court issues a ruling.
