15.1-19-06. Abortion referrals

1. No person while acting in an official capacity as an employee or agent of a school

district may refer a student to another person, agency, or entity for the purpose of

obtaining an abortion. This provision does not extend to private communications

between the employee or agent and a child of the employee or agent.

2. Between normal childbirth and abortion, it is the policy of the state of North Dakota that

normal childbirth is to be given preference, encouragement, and support by law and by

state action. A person acting in an official capacity as an employee or agent of a school

district, between normal childbirth and abortion, shall give preference, encouragement,

and support to normal childbirth. No public school in the state may endorse or support

any program that, between normal childbirth and abortion, does not give preference,

encouragement, and support to normal childbirth. No public school of the state may

authorize a presentation to students that, between normal childbirth and abortion, does

not give preference, encouragement, and support to normal childbirth.
