Highlight
There is a fundamental right for a woman to obtain an abortion in instances where it is necessary to preserve her life or health.
Access Independent Health Services, Inc., d/b/a Red River Women’s Clinic has a substantial likelihood of succeeding in establishing N.D.C.C. § 12.1-31-12 is not narrowly tailored to the State’s compelling interests.
A granting of a preliminary injunction will not be overturned unless the district court abused its discretion.
