The North Dakota legislature has always been pretty conservative and such measures have always garnered lots of support. If I am not mistaken, sometime between 1985 and 1993 the legislature passed a very restrictive abortion law only to have it vetoed by the Democratic Governor George Sinner. Appropriate last name perhaps. Sinner is a Roman Catholic with 10 kids.
They tax and spend like Democrats.
he is probably of the ilk who would "never choose abortion himself," but thinks it's okay for others...
