North Dakota's sole abortion clinic, located in Fargo, is filing a lawsuit against two state laws that it claims force doctors to present false information, and is asking a judge to block the laws' enforcement.
The complaint is from the pro-abortion Center for Reproductive Rights on behalf of the American Medical Association, the Red River Women's Clinic in Fargo, and the clinic's medical director, Dr. Kathryn Eggleston.
The lawsuit alleges that two state laws, set to go into effect Aug. 1, force doctors to "lie": one requires doctors to affirm that an unborn baby is a "unique, living human being," and the other requires doctors to inform patients that reversals of medication abortions are possible.
Medication abortions have become an increasingly common method of abortion in the United States, making up 30-40 percent of all abortions.
