That leads to a slippery slope though. A state could say "well, you could always go to the next one over", and many states could adopt this mentality until you have entire regions of the country that you would have to travel through.

I'm not saying the North Dakota thing is acceptable. It's not, it can endanger peoples lives. The point I was trying to make (and wasn't very clear about) is that this sort of legislation won't be effective in stopping what they want to stop. The only thing it accomplishes is putting mother's lives in danger in the case of an emergency, and making it inconvenient for women to get abortions. No matter your view on abortion, it accomplishes nothing.
