Governor Dayton vetoed two bills that would have created greater barriers for women seeking to obtain the reproductive health care they need.
SF1921/HF2340, if it had become law, would have imposed a number of onerous requirements on clinics that provide abortions. This bill meant that abortion clinics, unlike any other physician practice, would be subject to unannounced inspections twice a year. It would have also imposed architectural and building requirements that has nothing to do with patient safety and, instead, are intended to decrease access to abortion care.
SF1912/HF2341, if it had become law, would have significantly decreased women's access to reproductive health care services especially those women in rural areas. This bill would have eliminated doctor's ability to use of telemedicine as a safe and effective way to administer a medical abortion for a patient.
Both bills did nothing to create jobs, improve our economy, or help Minnesota families.
Join us in thanking Governor Dayton for his continued support of women's health and for vetoing this outrageous legislation!
