　ST. LOUIS (AP) – North Dakota and Arkansas have asked a federal appeals court in St. Louis to reinstate two of the nation’s most stringent abortion bans.
 
     The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments in the cases Tuesday. The states want to reinstate abortion restrictions approved by lawmakers in 2013 but overturned by lower federal courts in separate decisions.
 
     The North Dakota law banned abortions when a fetal heartbeat can be detected, which can be as early as six weeks into pregnancy and before many women know they’re pregnant. A U.S. District Court judge in Bismarck ruled the law unconstitutional in April 2014.
 
     The Arkansas law banned abortions after 12 weeks. Lawmakers in the Republican-controlled Legislature overrode former Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe’s veto.
 
     The appeals court didn’t immediately rule.

 DEVILS LAKE, N.D. (AP) – Significant cracks have been found on the currently frozen Devils Lake raising concerns among some winter enthusiasts.
 
     Jeff Katzer a long-time fishing guide with Woodland Resort says the cracks are a few feet long in some places where typically only small cracks would show up. There are about 24 inches of ice on the lake in most places.
 
     Katzer says the resort has built ramps over the cracks in order to allow anglers and staff to move to and from ice houses safely. He says the problem is of such magnitude that the winter season’s “roads” on the lake have been temporarily shut down.
 
     Katzer says the warmer temperatures in the forecast for later this week will only make matters worse.

　Update..

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A North Dakota lawmaker is pushing a measure that would grant immunity for someone who calls authorities to report a drug overdose.
 
     Republican Sen. Howard Anderson says the bill is aimed at saving lives. The retired Turtle Lake pharmacist says there are cases in North Dakota in which drug overdoses have gone unreported for fear of criminal prosecution.
 
     The Senate Judiciary Committee took testimony on the bill Tuesday.
 
     Tyler Auck of Bismarck said he’s a recovering drug user and urged lawmakers to pass the measure. Auck said he once overdosed on drugs and was left to die because his acquaintances were afraid to call authorities, fearing they would go to jail.
 
     The National Conference of State Legislatures says more than 20 states have some form of a drug immunity law.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Two women have rings of their own following North Dakota State University’s win on Saturday in the Football Championship Subdivision title game – not championship rings but engagement rings.
 
     Two  NDSU players proposed to their girlfriends while fans were storming the field in Frisco, Texas, following NDSU’s 29-27 win over Illinois State. It was the fourth consecutive national title for the Bison.
 
     NDSU offensive lineman Zac Johnson proposed to Trisha Goerts, and offensive lineman Jesse Hinz proposed to Gretchen Folkerts. Both women said yes.
 
     Hinz and Folkerts likely will wed this summer, while Johnson and Goerts are eyeing a summer 2015 wedding.

　In world and national news…

 PARIS (AP) – France’s premier is pushing for tougher anti-terrorism measures, declaring that his country is “at war with terrorism” and jihadism. In a speech to the National Assembly Tuesday, Prime Minister Manuel Valls said he would seek tighter surveillance of convicted extremists after last week’s deadly attacks in Paris. Following the speech, France’s lower house of Parliament overwhelmingly approved extending French airstrikes against the Islamic State group in Iraq.
 
     PARIS (AP) – The French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo is going to print with its first edition since last week’s massacre in its editorial offices. The new issue features a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad on the cover, with a tear in his eye and holding a sign that reads “I am Charlie.” It also has the words “All is forgiven” above. In its lead editorial, the paper defends its right to lampoon religions and religious leaders and hold them accountable.
 
     CHICAGO (AP) – The mother of a 19-year-old suburban Chicago man facing a terrorist charge is decrying what she describes as “unspeakable acts of horror” carried out by extremists, saying they “completely at odds” with the Islamic faith. Zarine Khan read a statement in a Chicago federal courthouse lobby Tuesday after her son’s arraignment. She says the Islamic State group is “brainwashing” young people, like her son, through social media. Mohammed Hamzah Khan is accused of trying to join IS.
 
     GENEVA (AP) – Secretary of State John Kerry is in Geneva for talks with his Iranian counterpart on how to speed up nuclear negotiations. The talks come as a March target date approaches to conclude a deal. Negotiators are trying to turn an interim accord into a permanent deal that would address international concerns about Iran’s nuclear program.
 
     WASHINGTON (AP) – Congressional Republicans are attacking President Barack Obama’s agenda from all sides despite veto threats. In the House, they are moving forward on three bills that Obama has threatened to veto – on Wall Street reform, immigration and regulations. In the Senate, lawmakers are debating a bill to move forward on the Keystone XL pipeline.  Obama invited his antagonists to the White House Tuesday for their first sit-down since the new Congress convened last week under full GOP control.
