Once again, it's draconian:

Bismarck, ND) The North Dakota Senate will hear a bill that will ban all abortions in the state. HB 1466 would ban abortions in North Dakota and impose criminal penalties on women and their doctors.

Sarah Stoesz, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, is monitoring the progress of the legislation. “North Dakotans deserve to make these personal, private decisions free from government intrusion,” Stoesz said. “This bill attempts to substitute political opinion for medical judgment and endangers women’s health and safety in the process,” said Stoesz.

The bill would allow the Attorney General to implement a ban on abortion regardless of the status of Roe v. Wade. Performing an abortion would become a Class C felony in the state.
