North Dakota Senate Passes Measure Threatening Abortion Access 
---------------------------------------------------------------


 
State senators in North Dakota have passed a measure critics fear could
end abortion in the state. The bill requires doctors at the state’s
only abortion clinic to obtain admitting privileges at a local hospital,
a step that can be impossible for abortion providers. Alabama
Republicans have advanced a similar bill while yet another parallel
measure enacted in Mississippi is threatening to close that state’s
only remaining clinic.
