More than two years since the overturn of Roe v Wade, legal battles over abortion laws are as chaotic as ever. But occasionally, the challenges playing out state by state result in a string of good news for abortion rights. That was the case this week, with a cluster of court decisions that will expand abortion access in Nevada and North Dakota, and allow Missouri and Nebraska voters to weigh in on the issue in November. On Thursday, District Court Judge Bruce Romanick in Bismarck, North Dakota, issued a powerful opinion siding with abortion providers who challenged a state law that had deemed their practice a felony. In his order, which takes effect in two weeks, Rominick ruled that the North Dakota constitution’s protections for life, liberty, and the right to pursue happiness include the right to choose abortion.
