MOORHEAD – The owner of what was North Dakota’s only abortion clinic says the clinic has opened in its new location in Moorhead, just weeks before it was likely to be forced to close in Fargo under a statewide abortion ban.
Red River Women’s Clinic has a lawsuit pending seeking to block a trigger law in North Dakota that was set to go into effect if the US Supreme Court overturned the Roe precedent establishing a nationwide right to abortion.
Owner Tammi Kromenaker says the clinic in north Moorhead opened Wednesday with the help of nearly $1 million in donations. Abortion remains legal in Minnesota.
On Wednesday, volunteer escorts walked patients inside while a small number of protesters demonstrated.
