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.
A lawsuit has been filed to strike down abortion restrictions.
The Minnesota Supreme Court has long recognized abortion access as a fundamental right. Yet Minnesota still has laws on the books that restrict access to abortion and other reproductive health services, are out-of-step with contemporary medical practice, and reflect antiquated views about women’s role in society.
A legal challenge has been filed to repeal a number of abortion restrictions currently on the books in Minnesota.
What Minnesotans are saying…
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
My body, my choice. I get to decide when I’m ready for kids – both deserve it.
Dani
Reproductive freedom is human freedom. To say otherwise is to say women aren’t human.
David
The choice to be a parent is a sacred choice that cannot be legislated away.
Rev. Donley – Mounds View, MN
These restrictions not only create interference between doctors and patients, they also strip women of the dignity of making their own healthcare decisions.
Amy – Minnesota
Women have the right to honest, affordable, and accessible care regardless of their geographic location.
