Rep. Keeler statement on Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade
SAINT PAUL, Minn - Rep. Heather Keeler (DFL - Moorhead) issued the following statement regarding today’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling which struck down constitutional protection of abortion rights under Roe v. Wade:
“Forced birth is not pro-life. For the first time ever, our next generation will have less rights than we did. People deserve to keep their healthcare decisions between them and their provider. Minnesota now has responsibility, as the only state in the region that guarantees reproductive rights, to care for people whose state has failed them. We need to fight back against extremism and protect reproductive rights, for the future of our society.”
