Party lines hold as abortion bill moves through MN Legislature

[RandySF]

Abortion rights legislation that Minnesota Democrats made a session priority advanced through more committees Tuesday, attracting both intense support and opposition in testimony along the way.

The bill aims to shore up abortion and other reproductive health access in Minnesota in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that overturned Roe vs. Wade. Minnesota has its own court ruling that establishes a legal right to abortion, but bill proponents say it could change if judicial makeup does.

1. Republicans are clearly making war on women's rights

Women need every safeguard to preserve and protect their rights, and Minnesota Democrats are right to do that through legislation, as it's quite obvious that there's no such thing as "settled law" for Republicans. If they can consign you to second class status, they will.
