Challenge to North Dakota law that would effectively ban all medication abortions in the state by requiring compliance with conditions for the provision of “abortion-inducing drugs” that are impossible to meet. Current Status: The law is temporarily blocked pending a hearing scheduled for August 2013. In addition, in May 2013 the complaint was amended to also challenge SB 2305, a law requiring that any physician performing abortions obtain admitting privileges at a local hospital. The admitting privileges requirement is scheduled to take effect on August 1, 2013. (See the law here. See the court opinion here. Read more here.)
