An abortion clinic based in North Dakota has raised more than $550,000 to fund its move in the two days since the Supreme Court's decision to roll back Roe v. Wade.
The Red River Women's Clinic of Fargo, North Dakota, set up a GoFundMe to assist with a planned move to Moorhead, Minnesota. North Dakota is one of the at least 13 states that has a "trigger" law, which immediately bans abortions following the overturn of Roe v. Wade.
The move to Minnesota has been in the works since reports that overturning the case was a possibility, Tammi Kromenaker, clinic director for Red River Women's Clinic, previously told Insider.
But moving out of North Dakota means there will no longer be an operating abortion clinic in the state.
"RRWC has served as North Dakota's only abortion clinic for over 20 years," the GoFundMe page reads. "As a state with a trigger-ban in place, North Dakota would ban abortion in 30 days if Roe v Wade is overturned."
The move is part of a contingency plan to continue to provide reproductive health services to patients, the GoFundMe says. Moorhead, Minnesota, is located just a few miles away from the Red River, which could help those in North Dakota still have access to an abortion clinic, per the GoFundMe.
The decision to overturn Roe v. Wade sparked protests nationwide. Since the decision was made public, a slew of prominent individuals from musician Jack White to lawmakers such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have blasted the ruling. Attorney General Merrick Garlan condemned the court's decision, saying on Friday that it's a "devastating blow to reproductive freedom in the United States."

Rich property owner who just knocked up his secretary while his wife was in Florida? My WAG.
And I bet they they just pocket the money the suckers gave them.
Less than 20 miles to the East?
Yes I posted about it yesterday. They are moving 15 minutes away. They raised this much money in two days to move 15 minutes away.
Strange.
Can’t North Dakotans just go visit Canaduh?
Well they could but that would be American dollars going over the boarder. Remember how much money abortion brings in.

Lessee now, Fargo to Minnesota is about what? Half a mile?
Maybe much less than that depending on how close to the border one is and the extent of one’s bodily dimensions.....
Hey! What happened to who donated the money? Inquiring minds want to know. 🤔
I’m sure reproductive health services are still being offered in ND.
They just won’t be murdering babies now.
I doubt it. Probably going to move the whole thing to Minnesota. They will have a shuttle bus or some kind of transport for women, just wait and see.
This is just the beginning. The decision will turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to the abortion industry. It will receive massive amounts of dollars from leftist state governments, foundations and individuals to fund new facilities in states that do not limit abortions and travel for women in states that do. The decision will have little if any effect on the number of abortions performed.
Until the money runs out.
I’m sure they’ll get the best “killing” available with those funds. Pretty disgusting isn’t it.
It’ll affect where people settle and how they think. Red will get redder and blue bluer. Personally I don’t want liberals any where in my state.
Not twenty miles. More like six from old location to new. One just has to cross the bridge. Moorhead did not have an abortion clinic before.
I remember reading an old article about that clinic. They have doctors drive to the current location from Minnesota to do the abortions, since they could not find an North Dakota residents to do the job. So those doctors will be saving all that gas money and have a shorter commute. How convenient for them.
We really need to call 6/24 “Planned Parenthood Jackpot Day.”
