North Dakota's only abortion clinic fights to halt "trigger" ban

North Dakota's sole abortion clinic filed a lawsuit in state court Thursday seeking to block a "trigger" law banning abortion following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
The Red River Women's Clinic argues that the ban violates the rights to life, safety and happiness guaranteed by the state constitution. It said the ban also infringes on the right to liberty because it "deprives patients of the ability to control decisions about their families and their health."
The North Dakota lawsuit is just the latest litigation to take aim at restrictions on abortions after the Supreme Court said the procedure was no longer protected by the U.S. Constitution.
