North Dakota House Passes Abortion Ban

The North Dakota House of Representatives passed a fetal personhood bill, effectively outlawing abortion by declaring fertilized eggs have the same rights as human beings.  This dangerous bill could endanger use of contraceptives as well.  The Representatives voted 51-41 in favor of the bill today, which will now go to the Senate, which is anti-choice, along with the Governor. 

This is similar to a bill recently defeated in Colorado.  These bills are written to pose a challenged to Roe v. Wade.  North Dakota will likely end up in court defending this bill.
