Republican State Sen. Julia Coleman called the new abortion legislation 'dangerous' and criticized Democrats for denying Republicans' efforts to make the bill more moderate.
Democrats had fast-tracked the legislation in response to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision last summer to overturn Roe v. Wade – ending federal protections for abortion. While the right to abortion was previously guaranteed in a 1995 decision by the Minnesota Supreme Court, Doe v. Gomez, abortion rights activists and Democrats said the PRO act was necessary to codify abortion rights into state law, as well as rights to contraception, fertility treatment, and pregnancy.
Coleman said her own pro-life ideals were solidified with the premature birth of her twin sons. She said she was advised to abort one in order to save the other, but at 33 weeks, she delivered two healthy boys.who may find themselves in similar situations, and she encouraged them to choose life.
