Multiple advocates on Tuesday, April 13, said the North Dakota lawmakers attempt to punish universities who partner with abortion supporters or providers could set a dangerous precedent for legislators intervening into research about any topic that could one day be deemed immoral. 2:52 pm, Apr. 13, 2021 ×

The target of the bill is clear: North Dakota State University has for almost 10 years worked with Planned Parenthood to provide an evidence-based course to teach at risk teenagers to make informed decisions to help avoid pregnancies or sexually transmitted diseases.
The money for the course, which has helped more than 600 vulnerable teens around North Dakota, is funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under an initiative that started with the Obama administration and continued through the Trump administration.
The grants are awarded through a competitive process. Only sound curricula that have been proven to be effective are eligible for federal funds. The approach, which incorporates students’ values, which are molded by their families, works.
