Questions are being raised about a Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa resolution banning abortions on tribal land. One tribal member says it was not legally adopted.
“We had no published agenda, no three-day notice. It’s a clear violation of the tribal constitution,” said tribal member Andy Laverdure, who is known as watchdog for tribal resolutions.
