Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has not said abortion in ninth month is ‘absolutely fine’
DFL Rep. Tina Liebling, who sponsored the change, said the repealed language was put in place to demonize doctors and imply things were “happening that were not happening.”
“It basically said that in these situations, families are not able to make their own decisions. The reality is that abortions late in pregnancy don’t happen unless there’s a real reason like a medical emergency, like a non-viable fetus, like a fetus that will only live briefly outside of the womb,” she said.
“The whole thing is intended to make it sound like people are having abortions late in pregnancy for no good reason and that’s just not true.”
