Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) signed the Protect Reproductive Options (PRO) Act on Tuesday, which enshrines what Republicans call “the most extreme” abortion policy into state law as a “fundamental right.”

Minnesota Republicans and pro-life groups have said the law means that the elective killing of an unborn child is legal, even in the third trimester, and that parents have no right to know about their daughter’s abortion.
