38:31Now PlayingDFL lawmakers joined advocates for reproductive rights at the Capitol Friday, June 24, following the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which overturns the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that guaranteed access to abortion.
Citing the decision as "an egregious attack on the fundamental rights of tens of millions of women," Senate Minority Leader Melissa López Franzen said, "Abortion is healthcare, plain and simple, and thankfully it remains legal here in the State of Minnesota." She called for the passage of legislation to codify reproductive choice and support women's health.
Earlier in the day, Senate Majority Leader Jeremy Miller released a statement saying, "Today is a victory for every unborn child, affirming their life has value and is worth protecting. Senate Republicans are committed to working together to find consensus on protections for babies, and support for moms and families who choose life.”
