North Dakota Supreme Court
d/b/a Red River Women’s Clinic v. Wrigley
November 21, 20252025 ND 199
Summary
The court reversed the district court judgment because no sufficient majority agreed to declare the abortion statute unconstitutional. Three judges concluded the statute was unconstitutionally vague and nonseverable, while two judges concluded it was not unconstitutional; under the state Constitution, the resulting split precluded an unconstitutional-declaration judgment. The court therefore did not produce a majority resolution of the statute's vagueness or natural-rights merits.
