Abortion in North Dakota

Abortion in North Dakota is technically legal, but with no current providers. The state's sole abortion clinic, the Red River Women's Clinic, relocated to Minnesota.

Following the United States Supreme Court's landmark ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade on June 24, 2022, the state's trigger law, HB 1466, was blocked by the district court, which was upheld by the North Dakota Supreme Court. SB 2150 was passed in response to this, making performance of an abortion is a Class C felony subject to a maximum penalty of five years' imprisonment, a $10,000 fine, or both. The law provides exceptions for medical necessity, or rape or incest when performed before 6 weeks, or if an individual assisting was unaware they were assisting an illegal abortion. In 2024, Judge Bruce Romanick overturned the state's abortion ban.
