Abortion is settled law in Minnesota, won't relitigate it

Let Minnesotans vote on constitutional abortion ban

Walz stressed that governors can appoint Minnesota Supreme Court justices who interpret cases. "I just want to be absolutely clear, this is on the ballot," Walz said. "You get a choice here of a vision of Minnesota, one that questions our elections, one that tells women they can't make their choices, one that defunds our public schools or you get an opportunity that brought so many of us to Minnesota. An opportunity for a state that is inclusive," Walz said.

Require exposure of abortion clinic employees for licensure

Analysis by Planned Parenthood:This bill compromises patient and provider privacy, putting their safety at risk. This bill requires that abortion clinics report the names and license numbers of all "health care professionals" who work at the clinic in their applications for licensure. A politically motivated Commissioner of Health could use this legislation to target abortion providers for harassment.

Veto Message: House File 809 infringes upon women's basic right to health and safety--a right of every woman, regardless of the type of health insurance she has. This bill would interfere with critical medical decisions that should be made between a woman and her doctor.

Legislative Outcome:Passed House 79-53-0 on April 24, 2017; Passed Senate 38-7 on May 4; State Senator Scott Jensen voted YES; Vetoed by Gov. Dayton on May 10
