Michelle Fischbach on Abortion

Proudly pro-life and supports pro-life legislation
We must protect the unborn, who have the fundamental right to life, and defend the sanctity of innocent human life at all stages. I will stand up to efforts by the radical left to promote infanticide and taxpayer-funded abortions
for illegal immigrants. I am proudly pro-life and will always support legislation that protects innocent human life and defends the sanctity of life at all stages.

Require exposure of abortion clinic employees for licensure
Legislative Summary: SF704 / HF812: Abortion facilities licensure requirementAnalysis 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 Apr/24/17; Passed Senate 35-29 on May/4/17; State Sen. Michelle Fischbach co-sponsored the bill; Vetoed by Gov. Dayton on May/10/17

evidence of poor quality or unsafe procedures being performed.Legislative Outcome:Passed House 80-47-6 on April 20; passed Senate 43-23-1 on April 18; State Sen. Michelle Fischbach voted YES; vetoed by Gov. Dayton on May 22.
