Bismarck, N.D. (AP) North Dakota legislative leaders say lawmakers probably won't consider additional measures to curb abortions in the state any time soon.
Voters on Tuesday rejected by a nearly 2-to-1 margin a constitutional amendment that opponents feared would bestow human rights on fertilized human eggs. Voters on Tuesday also booted the two most vocal anti-abortion lawmakers in North Dakota.
Senate Republican Majority Leader Rich Wardner says it appears voters prefer lawmakers deal with more pressing issues facing the state.
Wardner doesn't expect any abortion-related legislation to surface during legislative session, which begins in January.
Senate Democratic Minority Leader Mac Schneider called Tuesday's election "a lesson in humility for the legislature.''
