The Red River Women's Clinic was originally located in Fargo, North Dakota, and for many years was the only abortion clinic in North Dakota.[1] It began operating in 1998.[2] The clinic's director is Tammi Kromenaker.[3] In 2013, the Center for Reproductive Rights sued on behalf of the clinic over a law requiring doctors performing abortions to have admitting privileges to local hospitals.[4]

In the wake of the Supreme Court's holding in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization that the United States constitution does not confer a right to abortion and the subsequent legal uncertainty over the status of abortion in North Dakota, the clinic moved to Moorhead, Minnesota, approximately three miles away and just on the other side of the state line.[5]
