Minnesota Senate passes the PRO Act
The DFL campaigned last summer on the promise that they wanted to codify Roe v. Wade into law. That's what the DFL promised. That isn't what the DFL delivered. The key section of the PRO Act states "Every individual has a fundamental right to make autonomous decisions about the individual's own reproductive health, including the fundamental right to use or refuse reproductive health care. (b) Every individual who becomes pregnant has a fundamental right to continue the pregnancy and give birth, or obtain an abortion, and to make autonomous decisions about how to exercise this fundamental right."
What isn't in the bill is as important as what's in the bill. What isn't in this bill are any restrictions. The bill says that each "individual has a fundamental right to make autonomous decisions about the individual's right to continue the pregnancy ... or obtain an abortion." Not even the woman's husband has the right to object. Period.
About a week ago, I wrote this post, which I titled Introducing the DFL's Pro-Infanticide Act. I intentionally included Daniel Patrick Moynihan's famous quote about partial birth abortion. In his quote, Sen. Moynihan said "It is as close to infanticide as anything I have come upon in our judiciary." Sen. Moynihan wasn't a pro-life advocate. He was staunchly pro-choice. Despite that, he was able to see partial birth abortion for what it is -- infanticide. Since the PRO Act doesn't prohibit late-term abortions, that means it doesn't prohibit partial birth abortion. That's the definition of infanticide.
The bill now goes to Gov. Tim Walz's desk, where he can be the first U.S. governor to legalize infanticide:
Thus far this session, Gov. Walz a) has announced that he'll sign this nation's first pro-infanticide bill into law, b) submitted a budget that spends most of a projected $17,600,000,000 surplus and c) has stated as his goal that Minnesota would be the best place for children. This will be Gov. Walz's legacy. It isn't a stretch to think that he'll be remembered as the worst governor in Minnesota's history.
