Supporting Reproductive Freedom

During the 2023 session, the DFL Trifecta successfully codified abortion rights into state law, ensuring every Minnesotan has the right to make their own reproductive healthcare decisions and protecting travelers from hostile states from any legal action that might be brought against them for seeking care in Minnesota. 

As a member of the House DFL Reproductive Freedom Caucus, I believe government should not have a role in making decisions about a woman’s body, and I support access to affordable birth control and safe, legal abortion. The Reproductive Freedom Caucus was formed in the face of an imminent threat to freedom of choice and a desire to elevate this issue as one of critical importance to women’s rights – in particular low-income women.

Minnesota may soon be the only state in our region that allows abortion services. Abortion is health care, and I will do everything I can to support and improve access to reproductive health care for women in our state.
