North Dakota on Monday adopted one of the strictest anti-abortion laws in the country as Republican Gov. Doug Burgum signed legislation banning the procedure throughout pregnancy, with slim exceptions up to six weeks’ gestation.
In those early weeks, abortions would only be allowed in cases of rape or incest, or in medical emergencies. After six weeks, rape and incest victims cannot get abortions. Abortions to treat some medical emergencies, such as ectopic pregnancies, are allowed at any stage of pregnancy.
“This bill clarifies and refines existing state law ... and reaffirms North Dakota as a pro-life state,” Burgum said in a statement.

He “evolved” after signing the bill, because he was governor of maybe the most pro-life state in the country to possibly running on a national stage, where he perceived that as being a negative. No thanks.

After??? One would think the evolution would have occurred BEFORE signing the bill. Otherwise he wouldn't have signed it.......
Oh well, who cares. There's plenty of articles trashing every one of Trump's potential nominees out there anyway. So pick and choose whichever one you want to believe..........Sheesh!
