It’s Time to Expand Abortion Access in Minnesota.
UnRestrict Minnesota works to protect, expand, and destigmatize access to abortion care–and all reproductive healthcare—in Minnesota through public education, advocacy, and the law.
Our vision is to achieve full reproductive justice, an organizing framework created by Black women where every person has the ability to decide if, when, and how to become a parent; raise healthy children in safe and thriving communities; and have gender freedom and bodily autonomy.
We are led by a multi-racial coalition of LGBTQ+ advocates, faith communities, clinicians, activists, doctors, abortion funds, lawyers, organizers, healthcare clinics, doulas, podcasts, and more. Learn more about our partners.
Reproductive Freedom Lobby Day 2023
Minnesotans made their voices heard by electing the first pro-reproductive freedom state legislature in decades. But the work isn’t done, now we must show up louder and stronger than ever to push decision makers to pass bold legislation protecting and expanding abortion access in Minnesota.
Mark your calendars for Tuesday, February 21! Reproductive Freedom Lobby Day activities will take place from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with legislator meetings scheduled throughout the day.
Get Involved!
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.
What Minnesotans are saying…
Abortion is healthcare. Healthcare is a human right. Parenting (or not) is up to each person.
Jourdan
Because every woman should have the choice. What’s right for one, may not be right for another.

Everyone has the right to decide what they want to do with their own bodies. Abortion access is a racial and economic justice issue.

A woman should have the final say about her body, not lawmakers!
Lisa
Abortion is health care. We need to take the politics out of a personal and private decision.
Clive – Minneapolis, MN
Access is all Minnesotans living within an hour of an abortion provider.
Hayley – Duluth, MN
After I got my abortion, I felt relief. I felt good. I always felt it was the right choice, still to this day.
Ashley
Every person should have control over their body and when they are ready to be a parent.
Elena
Everybody deserves to decide when they want to become a parent. Their body, their choice.
Emma
If you are a person who would never have an abortion, would never have kids, already has kids, doesn’t know if you want kids, can’t have kids or has never thought about having kids, you have a place in our movement.
Erin Maye Quade
My abortion was where I took action, where I made the best decision for me and my family.
Elizabeth – Minneapolis, MN
No one religion should be enshrined inlaw or dictate public policy on any issue — including abortion. Anything else is a violation of my religious freedom.
Beth – Minneapolis, MN
People need access to safe and affordable reproductive care
Mike
Reproductive freedom is human freedom. To say otherwise is to say women aren’t human.
