The Minnesota Legislature gave final approval to a bill adding the right to abortion to state law.
The bill goes beyond abortion, covering birth control, sterilization and prenatal care. It prohibits local governments from restricting access to those services.Republicans have raised concerns that the bill does not set any limits on when an abortion can be performed. They've called it the most extreme abortion law in the nation, arguing it allows a pregnancy to be terminated up until birth.
Proposed amendments to ban abortion in the third trimester, exclude sterilization from the definition of reproductive rights and add more restrictions for both procedures were voted down during the floor debate.Abortions late in pregnancy are rare in Minnesota — just one was performed after 25 weeks in both 2021 and 2020, per state data. There were two in 2019.
