Abortion

Some liberals running for office in MN are saying their opponents will outlaw abortion. In Minnesota, choosing to have an abortion is a right protected by the Minnesota Constitution (Doe v. Gomez). That protection is separate and independent from the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Supreme Court’s recent Dobbs v. Jackson decision does not change the Minnesota Constitution, does not change the Minnesota Supreme Court’s determination in Doe v. Gomez, and does not change Minnesota laws regulating access to and provision of abortion services. Abortion remains legal in Minnesota. All's fair in love, war and politics.
