(BISMARCK) — North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley has issued a statement following the North Dakota State District Court ruling by Bruce Romanick to overturn the abortion ban.
“As Attorney General of North Dakota, it is my privilege to defend the laws enacted by the people’s representatives. While I have appropriate regard for the State District Court, a careful reading of Judge Romanick’s decision reveals flaws in his analysis and interpretation of controlling precedent,” Wrigley said. “Accordingly, the State of North Dakota will appeal this ruling because Judge Romanick’s opinion inappropriately casts aside the law crafted by the legislative branch of our government and ignores the applicable and controlling case law previously announced by the North Dakota Supreme Court.”
