Whenever you're tempted to think that state and local politics don't matter, pull up this story from Minnesota and you'll realize that, at a state level especially, every single vote matters.

Last week, Minnesota passed, by the slimmest possible margin, a bill that would allow mothers to kill their unborn children all the way up until birth.

From Life News:

The Minnesota Senate today passed a bill to enshrine in Minnesota law a right to abortion without limits at any time during pregnancy. Senators approved the bill, H.F. 1, by just a one-vote margin, 34-33. Gov. Tim Walz is expected to sign the sweeping measure into law.

"Minnesotans don't support elective third-trimester abortion. They just don't. But that's what this extreme bill entrenches in our state law: the right to abort any baby for any reason at any time up to birth," said MCCL Co-Executive Director Cathy Blaeser. "Under this bill, even babies who are old enough to live outside the womb and to feel excruciating pain have no protection from lethal violence. The extremism of H.F. 1 puts Minnesota in the same category as just a handful of countries around the world, including North Korea and China."

Yes, third-trimester ELECTIVE abortions are now legalized in Minnesota. These aren't exception cases. This isn't for the life or health of the mother. At 8 months and 29 days, a mom can decide to murder her child and the state of Minnesota is about to give that choice legal protection.

These are babies who could be delivered and given up for adoption. But Minnesota is instead setting up an altar to Molech.

H.F. 1, authored by Sen. Jennifer McEwen (DFL-Duluth), would create a "fundamental right" to abortion and require that abortion be allowed for any reason even late in pregnancy, when unborn children are developed enough to feel pain and when the risks of abortion to women increase. The bill would also deny parents the right to know when their minor daughter is subjected to abortion.

Even minors in Minnesota will have the right to hide their pregnancies from their parents, and their babies' grandparents, and terminate their children behind closed doors.

"The lack of parental involvement allows the most heinous of criminals — human and sex traffickers — to hide behind the doors of the unlicensed, uninspected abortion facility," said Blaeser. "These traffickers are happily watching this legislature advance extreme, unfettered abortion bills that enable them to continue to traffic their victims."

Many amendments that would have made H.F. 1 less extreme were voted down or thwarted. The defeated amendments included ones to protect unborn children in the third trimester (with exceptions), to protect against the barbaric procedure known as partial-birth abortion, to provide the option of anesthesia when unborn children can feel pain, and to protect women's health by requiring that third-trimester abortions take place in a hospital.

These people are pro-death. Forget about the consequences.

And the pro-aborts aren't even satisfied with this drastic measure:

Additional abortion-expanding bills have also been introduced at the Capitol. One bill, H.F. 91/S.F. 70, would repeal numerous abortion-related laws, including a law protecting newborns who survive abortion.

We know that in 2021, there were AT LEAST five of these cases of babies born alive after an abortion attempt in Minnesota.

But some are SO committed to the culture of death, they want to repeal laws that prevent killing children AFTER THEY ARE BORN.
