As states continue to choose sides in the abortion issue following the demise of Roe v. Wade, Minnesota’s Democratic Governor Tim Walz signed a bill into law Tuesday enshrining abortion as a “fundamental right.” The law — which Republicans have called the most extreme in the nation — allows abortion without restriction right up until birth.
While other blue states have visibly scrambled to protect and expand abortion since the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs overturned Roe, none have gone so far as Minnesota. Not only is it the most extreme abortion law in the nation, but it is also the first post-Dobbs law in the nation to codify a woman’s “right” to kill her unborn child.
