Doctors could be prosecuted and penalized by as much as five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.<\/p>\n<p>Three justices agreed that the ban is unconstitutionally vague under the state constitution. The other two justices said the law is not unconstitutional.<\/p>\n<p>The state constitution requires at least four of the five justices to agree for a law to be found unconstitutional, a high bar. Not enough members of the court joined together to affirm <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/north-dakota-judge-strikes-down-state-abortion-ban\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">the lower court ruling<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>In his opinion, Justice Jerod Tufte said the natural rights guaranteed by the state constitution in 1889 do not extend to abortion rights. He also said the law &#8220;provides adequate and fair warning to those attempting to comply.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>North Dakota Republican Attorney Drew Wrigley welcomed the ruling, saying, &#8220;The Supreme Court has upheld this important pro-life legislation, enacted by the people&#8217;s Legislature. The Attorney General&#8217;s office has the solemn responsibility of defending the laws of North Dakota, and today those laws have been upheld.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Republican state Sen. Janne Myrdal, who introduced the 2023 legislation that became the law banning abortion, said she is &#8220;thrilled and grateful that two justices that are highly respected saw the truth of the matter, that this is fully constitutional for the mother and for the unborn child and thereafter for that sake.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Attorneys for the challengers did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>The ruling means access to abortion in North Dakota will be outlawed. Even after a judge had earlier struck down the ban last year, the only scenarios for a patient to obtain an abortion in North Dakota had been for life- or health-preserving reasons in a hospital.<\/p>\n<p>The only abortion provider <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/minnesota\/news\/north-dakota-abortion-clinic-moving-to-minnesota\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">relocated in 2022<\/a><\/span> from Fargo to nearby Moorhead, Minnesota.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Daniel Crothers, one of the three judges to vote against the ban, wrote that the district court decision wasn&#8217;t wrong.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The vagueness in the law relates to when an abortion can be performed to preserve the life and health of the mother,&#8221; Crothers wrote. &#8220;After striking this invalid provision, the remaining portions of the law would be inoperable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/11\/22\/d08d53ff-60b2-4ef7-8876-111615694ce4\/thumbnail\/620x413\/cbe6e117c5d617d7719d5892775e5ed6\/ap25325791974690.jpg#\" alt=\"North Dakota supreme court \" height=\"413\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/11\/22\/d08d53ff-60b2-4ef7-8876-111615694ce4\/thumbnail\/620x413\/cbe6e117c5d617d7719d5892775e5ed6\/ap25325791974690.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/11\/22\/d08d53ff-60b2-4ef7-8876-111615694ce4\/thumbnail\/1240x826\/4c442dc1481c69c279f2ee0d245a5cb2\/ap25325791974690.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">North Dakota Supreme Court Chief Justice Jon Jensen, center, addresses new lawyers during a ceremony.

The only exceptions are for rape or incest in the first six weeks \u2014 before many women know they are pregnant \u2014 and to prevent the mother&#8217;s death or a &#8220;serious health risk&#8221; to her.<\/p>\n<p>North Dakota joins 12 other states enforcing bans on abortion at all stages of pregnancy. Another four bar it at or around six weeks gestational age.<\/p>\n<p>Judge Bruce Romanick had struck down the ban the state Legislature passed in 2023, less than a year after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/tag\/roe-v-wade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Roe v. Wade<\/a> and opened the door to the state-level bans, largely turning the abortion battle to state courts and legislatures.<\/p>\n<p>The Red River Women&#8217;s Clinic \u2014 the formerly sole abortion clinic in North Dakota \u2014 and several physicians challenged the law. The state appealed the 2024 ruling that overturned the ban.<\/p>\n<p>The judge and the Supreme Court each denied requests by the state to keep the abortion ban in effect during the appeal. Those decisions allowed patients with pregnancy complications to seek care without fear of delay because of the law, Center for Reproductive Rights Staff Attorney Meetra Mehdizadeh previously said.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation
