ST. PAUL (KDLM) – Bills to put abortion rights into Minnesota law will be the first ones introduced in the Minnesota Senate and House on the second day of the State legislative session.
“I believe we have to go through three committees in both the House and the Senate, so… as quickly as we can process through those committees and get it passed into law,” said House Speaker Melissa Hortman.
Democrats have only a one-vote majority in the Senate, meaning “yes” votes are needed even from conservative DFLers.
“It really comes down to committees and when we take the vote on bills — and so we’ll see how much unity there is,” said House Minority Leader Lisa Demuth.
Demuth says House Republicans are very proud to be a pro-life caucus.
