Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has reportedly chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) as her running mate, a choice that one of America’s leading pro-life groups says represents “the most pro-abortion Democratic candidate ever.”
“Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are the most pro-abortion presidential candidates in American history. There is no divide between them on this issue,” Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of SBA Pro-Life America, said in a statement. “Walz is not a moderate on abortion.”
WATCH — CNBC’s Ross Sorkin: Business sees Walz’s selection as a sign that Harris will govern more from a “progressive left position”:
Dannenfelser pointed to a bill Walz signed in January 2023 that was “the most extreme law in the country mandating abortion at the time.”“A fundamental right without any restrictions”
As Breitbart News reported at the time, Governor Walz became the first state in the nation to legalize abortion through legislation after the Supreme Court overturned the state’s abortion ban. Roe v. Wade It left the issue of abortion to the states and their elected representatives. This bill: HF1 1.5 or the Protect Reproductive Options (PRO) Act, was enacted to establish a “right” in state law to access reproductive health care options, including abortion, contraception, assisted family planning, and sterilization.

Abortion was already legal in Minnesota up until the second trimester, and the bill’s author, Democratic Sen. Jennifer McEuen, said the bill would ensure access to abortion regardless of future court decisions. Senate Minority Leader Mark Johnson lamented At the time, the bill was described as “the most radical bill in the nation regarding the sterilization of adolescents, late-term abortion, and the feasibility of far-reaching new reproductive rights,” and it passed.

“The PRO Act would mean the right to abort a baby for any reason, at any time, before birth. The selective killing of a human being is Intrauterine “Abortion is perfectly legal even in the third trimester, a time when a child can be in excruciating pain and potentially live outside of the womb. This means parents have no right to know when their teenage daughters are being taken to get abortions,” said MCCL Co-Executive Director Cathy Blaser.
“Governor Walz’s categorical abortion policy puts Minnesota in the same position as a handful of countries around the world, including North Korea and China. It is extreme, inhumane and harmful to women and children who deserve better,” Blaser continued.
Sadly, today Governor Tim Walz signed the Protecting Reproductive Options Act (PRO Act) into state law…

Pro-life groups also noted that lawmakers “rejected dozens of amendments that would have made the bill less extreme,” including protecting late-term fetuses (with exceptions), banning partial-birth abortions, and providing anesthesia options if the fetus can sense pain. Another proposed amendment would have required late-term abortions to be performed in a hospital and required abortion facilities to be licensed by the state.
“This law doesn’t just allow late-term abortions for medical emergencies or difficult cases,” Blaser said, “it allows late-term abortions for any reason and openly invites notorious late-term abortion providers to come and open clinics in Minnesota. Here in Minnesota, you don’t have to be a physician or have a licensed facility to perform abortions. The lack of guardrails to protect women and children is egregious.”

“With Harris and Waltz as flag bearers, the Democratic Party “Abortion Shout” Party, “There should be no restrictions for any reason, even if it’s the seventh, eighth or ninth month,” she said. “President Trump, J.D. Vance and Republicans support the right of the public to place restrictions on abortion and provide real options for mothers in need, while Democrats support the right to reject the idea of abortion.

Needless to say, Walz burned Minneapolis in 2020, so of course he would also allow a fetus to be dismembered, burned, and delivered dead.
