Doe v. Minnesota
Just weeks after the Dobbs decision was handed down, a Ramsey County district court overturned the vast majority of Minnesota’s abortion restriction laws in Doe v. Minnesota, a lawsuit brought by Gender Justice and its co-counsel, The Lawyering Project, in 2019. The court ruled that the majority of Minnesota’s abortion restrictions were unconstitutional and permanently blocked their enforcement including a ban on qualified non-physician practitioners performing abortions; the two-parent notification law; the 24-hour waiting period, the requirement that doctors recite a script of misleading information about abortion to patients, and more.
