"North Dakota has signed a new law prohibiting some abortions as soon as six weeks."
The New York Times reports that the measure, which is scheduled to take effect in August, will “ban nearly all abortions,” including “abortion once a fetal heartbeat is ‘detectable,’ which can be as early as six weeks into a pregnancy.” In addition, the law also would ban sex-selective abortions and abortions based on genetic defects, such as Down Syndrome.
