Did You Know?

Most Minnesotans have no idea what the abortion laws are in our state.

Stay Informed!

Join the millions of Minnesotans who agree everyone should have the power and ability to make healthy decisions about their own bodies, decide whether and when to become a parent, and raise healthy children in our communities if we decide to become parents.

The Laws

Get the facts about the abortion laws in Minnesota.

Anti-abortion lawmakers in our state have been quietly passing laws that restrict abortion access, intimidate providers and patients, and increase costs. Minnesotans have the right to know the current laws.

The Minnesota Constitution protects our right to have an abortion and the decision to have one. But most Minnesotans are not aware of how their rights are currently restricted and what access to abortion care looks like in our state. Deciding whether or when to become a parent is about freedom and control over our lives at our most basic level: our bodies, our families, our life’s path. We respect everyone’s right and freedom to access health care without politically motivated and medically unnecessary restrictions. Let’s remove politics from our health care.

About This Campaign

It’s Time to UnRestrict Minnesota.

Minnesotans are justifiably proud of our state’s reputation and rich history as a leader on many social justice fronts but Minnesota still has work to do — particularly in the area of reproductive health, rights, and justice.

A recent poll showed that 96% of Minnesotans were unaware of the laws that restrict access to abortion. UnRestrict Minnesota is a community-based public awareness campaign that aims to educate Minnesotans about the current laws that restrict our rights and access to abortion care.

In Minnesota, it is a felony for a non-physician to perform an abortion.

In other states, like Colorado and Montana, a wider range of trained medical professionals (like nurses or midwives) can offer this care. Studies show it’s just as safe and increasing the number of people who can provide care means more access for everyone who needs it.
