North Dakota has enacted a series of historic anti-choice measures that could effectively end abortion in the state. On Tuesday, Republican Gov. Jack Dalrymple signed a measure banning abortion once an embryonic heartbeat is detectable, which can happen at six weeks of pregnancy or even earlier. A second law signed by Dalrymple, aimed at shutting down the state’s only abortion clinic, requires hospital admitting privileges for abortion providers. And a third makes North Dakota the first state to ban abortions sought because of genetic abnormalities.
