Clinic leader: Court case ‘grave threat’ to abortion rights

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The head of North Dakota’s sole abortion clinic says the stakes have never been higher in the debate over a woman’s right to an abortion. Red River Valley Women’s Clinic Director Tammi Kromenaker went to Washington, D.C., to join a group of abortion supporters outside the Supreme Court Wednesday (Dec. 1, 2021) when justices werescheduled to hear testimony on a Mississippi case that many believe could decide the fate of Roe v. Wade. Kromenaker calls the case a “grave threat to abortion.” North Dakota Republican state Sen. Janne Myrdal, who heads the anti-abortion legislative caucus, calls it “the strongest opportunity to see Roe turned back to the states.”
