N.D. Abortion Ban to Show Women They Dont Want Abortions Anyway

North Dakota State Representative Bette Grande — the architect of the state's new and unconstitutional “heartbeat” abortion ban — is confident that once the bill goes through, women won’t want the abortions it restricts anyway. The bill, which will make it a felony to perform an abortion after a fetal heartbeat can by detected by vaginal ultrasound (around six weeks), is scheduled to go into effect August 1, although the Red River Clinic — the state's only abortion provider — is confident it can get an injunction against the ban before then.

“It does give people the opportunity to realize that there is a beating heart,” Grande told local news outlet InForum. “People are recognizing that. [...] I appreciate the fact that it will change hearts and minds.”
