Governor Tim Walz led the two most consequential legislative sessions for reproductive health in state history in 2023 and 2024. These actions, and many others, position Minnesota as a leader in safeguarding reproductive rights and underscore the state's commitment to reproductive freedom.
This public law, signed by Governor Walz in 2023, codifies reproductive rights, including access to abortion, as a fundamental right in Minnesota. It ensures that every Minnesotan has the legal right and protections to make decisions about their reproductive health, encompassing a wide range of services from contraception to maternity care.
As Governor of Minnesota, I firmly believe in upholding the fundamental right to reproductive freedom for all individuals. Access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare, including contraception and safe abortion services, is essential for safeguarding the autonomy and well-being of every Minnesotan. I remain committed to ensuring that our state policies respect and protect these rights, advancing equality and dignity for all.
