ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Minnesota House voted 68-62 to pass a bill that further protects anyone seeking and providing abortions. The bill forbids extradition to states that have anti-abortion laws. The bill also prohibits the release of medical records for any legal action from anti-abortion states. The bill was a Democratic follow-up to their bill that passed in February to clarify Minnesota’s pro-choice policy. Republican opponents in the Senate expressed worry that the new bill, if it becomes law, would be a magnet for lawsuits from other states. Next the bill goes to the Senate.
