Minnesota’s Democratic Gov. Tim Walz has signed a bill into law that enshrines the “fundamental right” to access abortion in the state

Minnesota’s Democratic Gov. Tim Walz signed a bill into law Tuesday that enshrines the “fundamental right” to access abortion in the state. Abortion is already legal in Minnesota, but in the aftermath of the US Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, the Protect Reproductive Options Act goes a step further by outlining that every person has the fundamental right to make “autonomous decisions” about their own reproductive health as well as the right to refuse reproductive health care.

In a letter to Walz ahead of the signing, Republican legislature leaders argued that the bill went too far and urged the governor to veto what they called “an extreme law.” “As the PRO Act was being rushed through the legislature, Republicans offered reasonable amendments with guardrails to protect women and children,” state Senate Minority Leader Mark Johnson and House Minority Leader Lisa Demuth wrote, “Sadly, each of these amendments were struck down by a Democrat majority.

Choice is freedom.

While trying to stop murderers from killing kids in school, it's ok to murder kids in the womb.

Twist it anyway you like, but murdering innocent babies is NOT a fundamental right.

Thank you people

Killers gotta kill!

Liberal women just have a look….. 🥴

CNN remember when you used to cover cases like this?

Evil legalizing murder of innocent unborn babies this is not ok abortion is not Healthcare Walz is a sick twisted evil demonrat you demonrats support murder and this ok to you murder is ok to you Satan's work is what your doing

A truly cursed state

Congratulations to all the black people you now have free birth control for ever!! More than 40million black babies have been aborted. Why don’t the BLM care about this?

Well this'll make the pro abortion crowd happy. Now they can use it as birth control.

Sad day.

Perfectly captures how our Constitutional Republic is supposed to work. Thank you SCOTUS!

Killin’ like champs

You have kids there applauding, saying I can't wait to have my first abortion.

Thats all well and fine IF YOU support MURDER!

Most Americans want some restrictions. Like Clinton said..”safe and rare”.

Why not just abort all the kids in foster homes or all the homeless people. You have the 'fundamental right'

Why would any person in the right mind cheer for the right to shed innocent blood?

Evil

The people most likely to abort their children at the extreme end of this law are the ones society is probably best off not passing their hideous values into the future anyway. God help the poor children.

You’re i-diot

Disgusting, And I didn’t think I could despise MN more.

A place where babies go to die. I wonder how many black babies will be aborted ?

Why is it that all the adult women behind him are ones that have a particularly low chance of needing an abortion?

Embarrassingly up until birth.

what a gift to the liberals that SCOTUS gave with this abortion shit. totally energized the liberal Karen voter. karen would rather fight for this than be enlightened how ripped off her and her family have been. real right wingers are not against abortion.

Thank you!! Gov't shouldn't have no place over the decisions about our bodies.

Sad that so many are okay with the wanton slaughter of innocent babies! LiberalismIsAMentalDisease

Kill kill kill!

Even as they look simple and soft in appearance.They have got guns in their homes.

Gross

The Dem’s are F’d now… study just came out that Abortions are a main cause of Climate Change….

Feticide is not a right....

Sickening

It’s the economy and civil rights, stupid.

'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?
