Editor’s Note: In a decision released yesterday, the North Dakota Supreme Court denied Attorney General Drew Wrigley’s request to lift an injunction preventing the state’s trigger law from taking effect.
In response to the aforementioned situation, North Dakota Right to Life Executive Director McKenzie McCoy issued the following statement:
North Dakota Right to Life is dismayed and profoundly disillusioned to learn that the North Dakota Supreme Court is contemplating the fabrication of a fictitious right to murder unborn babies. In Wrigley v. Romanick, three judges (a potential majority) opened the door to the establishment of a non-existent right to abortion beyond medically necessary care. This decision is a clear contravention of the authority granted to the state legislature by the United States Supreme Court in the Dobbs v Jackson case. The North Dakota Supreme Court is exhibiting a troubling disregard for the will of the people and our republic.
It appears that the North Dakota Supreme Court has opted to commence legislative proceedings without first consulting with the general public. We wholeheartedly endorse the efforts of Attorney General Drew Wrigley and our pro-life lawmakers as they strive to reexamine the opinion and identify an efficacious solution that will optimally address the concerns raised by the court and offer assistance in any capacity.
We will persist in advocating for the rights of the unborn in North Dakota. It is acknowledged that every life is of intrinsic value and deserves protection.
