Adoption can be a positive choice for women. We've begun building an ongoing list of non-profit, woman-centered adoption agencies and resources for birthfamilies. See our new adoption resource page for information on choosing adoption and finding an agency that works for you, or to submit a resource to be added to our list.
Keep up with future events and campaigns by subscribing to our bi-monthly newsletter!
We will only send one email every other month and will never, ever share your contact information with others.

ND's "Egg-as-Person" Bill
1/19/09
H. 1572 is introduced in the N.D. House and referred to Human Services.  The measure would redefine human life as beginning at conception, and the termination of any "human life" (including the blocking of a fertilized egg from implanting) as an abortion. Not only would this dangerous bill effectively ban all abortions in the staet, it would also effectively redefine common methods of birth control (including hormonal contraception, the IUD, and emergency contraception) as abortifacients because these methods can block a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus. Choice activists speculate H. 1572 could be used to ban these methods as well.
Update: 2/13/09
H. 1572 passes Human Services Committee, 7-6.
Update: 2/16/09
H. 1572 passes House, 51-41.
Update: 2/18/09
H. 1572 received in North Dakota Senate.
Update: 2/25/09
H. 1572 read before Senate, referred to Judiciary
Update: 1572 DEFEATED in Senate. Thanks to all who took action against this dangerous measure!
HB 1445
H. 1445, however, has passed Senate and heads to Governor Hoeven. This bill would mandate that women seeking
an abortion are given state-prepared information 24 hours prior to
receiving an abortion, including an amendment that an abortion will
"terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique, living human being."
