JULY 7, 2022:
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s only abortion clinic is suing to block enforcement of a trigger law banning abortion following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. The Red River Women’s Clinic in Fargo said in its court filing Thursday (July 7, 2022) that the ban violates the rights to life, safety and happiness guaranteed by the state constitution that protect the right to abortion. The suit also questions Attorney General Drew Wrigley’s statement that the ban takes effect July 28. The clinic argues that the Supreme Court has released its opinion but hasn’t yet issued its judgment. The clinic says that’s a separate step necessary to trigger the North Dakota law.
JUNE 28, 2022:
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s attorney general says the state’s sole abortion clinic must shut down at the end of July, at which time patients will likely head across the Red River to neighboring Moorhead, Minnesota. Attorney General Drew Wrigley says the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision last week that gives each state the right on whether to allow abortions means that the procedure will be outlawed in the state on July 28, 2022. He delivered his certification letter to the legislative council’s office Tuesday morning (June 28, 2022). Tammi Kromenaker, owner and operator of the Red River Women’s Clinic, plans to move the clinic from Fargo to Moorhead. A GoFundMe page meant to help with the move had raised more than $760,000 as of Tuesday morning.
JUNE 26, 2022:
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A fundraising campaign to help North Dakota’s sole abortion clinic move a few miles away to Minnesota has raised more than half a million dollars in less than three days. The Red River Women’s Clinic in Fargo will have to shut down in 30 days as part of the state’s trigger law. The law went into effect Friday (June 24, 2o22) when the U.S. Supreme Court removed the constitutional right to abortion. Tammi Kromenaker, owner and operator of the independent clinic, says she has secured a location in neighboring Moorhead but stated earlier that she didn’t know how she would fund the move. A GoFundMe page set up Thursday to benefit the transition had raised more than $515,000 from more than 6,000 donors as of late Saturday afternoon.
