Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz signed legislation Tuesday guaranteeing abortion access in state law.
The law creating a "fundamental right" to abortion takes effect Wednesday, making it harder for a court to roll back Minnesota's existing abortion protections. Abortion is already a protected right in Minnesota because of a 1995 state Supreme Court decision in Doe v. Gomez. Democrats see a law change as a backstop in case the court ever reserves itself.
The bill passed through the state Legislature narrowly with no Republican votes. The Senate approved it on a 34-33 party-line vote early Saturday after a 16-hour debate. Republicans remain frustrated that the bill imposes no new restrictions on when an abortion can take place. Shortly after Walz announced his signing ceremony, Republicans urged him to veto what they described as an "extreme" bill.
