On Friday, the Minnesota Senate passed bills to make the state a refuge for youth seeking gender-affirming care, out-of-state abortion patients and providers seeking protection, and to ban so-called conversion therapy for LGBTQ+ youth.
The Minnesota Senate waded into the culture wars Friday by passing bills to make the state a refuge for youth seeking gender-affirming care, out-of-state abortion patients and providers seeking protection, and to ban so-called conversion therapy for LGBTQ+ youth.
Opponents and supporters gather outside the Senate chamber in the Minnesota State Capitol on April 21, 2023, in St. Paul, Minnesota, ahead of votes on bills to make Minnesota a refuge for youth seeking gender-affirming care, to protect abortion patients from other states, and to ban conversion therapy for LGBTQ+ youth."The through-thread in all of these, of course, is people should be free," Democratic Sen.
Walz has already signed an executive order to protect young people and their families who come to Minnesota for health care from states where it's illegal to seek gender-affirming care. But the bill will etch those protections into law. Similarly, the conversion therapy ban builds on another Walz executive order.
GOP Sen. Paul Utke, of Park Rapids, argued against the abortion bill, saying Minnesota should not protect doctors, nurses and other medical professionals who have intentionally violated the abortion laws of other states. Maye Quade said at the news conference that it would be"wildly inappropriate" for senators to send videos of genitalia to their colleagues. She said she wanted"to draw a very bright line in the sand of what is and is not appropriate behavior and conduct ... this crossed the line."
