Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz signed legislation that codifies abortion rights and protects reproductive care in the state, while opponents have called it one of the most extreme in the nation.

The law states that “every individual has a fundamental right to make autonomous decisions about the individual’s own reproductive health.”

“Today we are not just codifying Roe v. Wade or Doe v. Gomez, as the author has indicated, we are enacting the most extreme bill in the country," said Republican state Senate Minority Leader Mark Johnson, during debate. “What Minnesotans are afraid of is to see, potentially, that what happened at the federal level with our U.S. Supreme Court could eventually, in some future time, happen here in Minnesota,” said state Sen. Jennifer McEwen, the bill’s Democratic sponsor.Yahoo News spoke to Laura Hermer, professor of law at Mitchell Hamline School of Law in Minnesota, in an effort to understand the impact of the PRO Act in a state that already has abortion rights. .

Minnesota abortion law: Gov. Tim Walz signs bill protecting 'fundamental right' to abortionMinnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz signed legislation on Tuesday that codifies a 'fundamental right' to abortion access and reproductive care in the state, solidifying abortion protections into law over the objections of Republican lawmakers. I’m glad Minnesota legislates based on rights and not on outdated and asinine religious beliefs. BABY KILLERS!! MN is awesome. No wonder they beat IA in basically every metric. It’s the economy and civil rights, stupid.

Tim Walz enshrined the right to abortion and other reproductive health care into Minnesota statutes Tuesday, signing a bill meant to ensure that the state's existing protections remain in place no matter who sits on future courts. But aren't liberals mad because the SCOTUS ruled abortion a state issue? So only broads can get it Celebrating the killing of innocents? This is breathtaking and chilling.

'Barbaric' Minnesota abortion bill lambasted by state senator: 'Future generations will look back in horror'Republican State Sen. Julia Coleman called the new abortion legislation 'dangerous' and criticized Democrats for denying Republicans' efforts to make the bill more moderate. I am pro life and disappointed in the vote, but the SCOTUS returned abortion to the individual states. As I said before I am disappointed in the outcome, but satisfied the process works. The Federal government needs to stay out it as per the SCOTUS ruling. It's always been barbaric. It's killing babies, remember?
