BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – An anti-abortion group has filed a brief in defense of a North Dakota law that requires doctors to inform women that they can reverse the procedure when it is carried out with medication, even though the science behind that claim is disputed.
Heartbeat International Inc., and their attorneys from Alliance Defending Freedom, filed the brief in federal court on Tuesday.
The group says the hormone progesterone may stop an abortion after a woman has taken the first of two medications needed to complete the abortion.
Abortion rights proponents dispute that claim.
