FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 10, 2019
Bismarck—Today, Governor Burgum signed into law HB 1546, a bill that bans dismemberment abortions in North Dakota.
The legislation, supported by Family Policy Alliance of North Dakota, makes it illegal to perform a dismemberment abortion on a living preborn child. This type of abortion procedure is gruesome and tears the baby apart while it is alive and can feel pain. Dismemberment of any living human is barbaric and inhumane, and we are overjoyed that the North Dakota Legislature and Governor Burgum again took a courageous stand to cherish life in all its forms.
