Another Victory for Abortion Rights in Minnesota

On February 12, 2024, the Minnesota Court of Appeals denied an anti-abortion group’s request to relitigate the historic 2022 Doe v. Minnesota decision ending restrictions on abortion care in the state, bringing us one step closer to the end of litigation.

In this episode, Gender Justice Special Projects Advisor Erin Maye Quade and Gender Justice Legal Director Jess Braverman review the case, analyze the latest court decision, discuss how a state Equal Rights Amendment would strengthen the constitutional right to abortion, and anticipate a joyful day in the near future when the case is complete for once and for all.
