The next time Dems use the labels "extreme" and "weird" to describe Republicans, just remember this.
(On Thursday) the Minnesota House of Representatives failed, on a party-line 67-66 vote, to pass a bill to require medically appropriate lifesaving care for infants who survive abortion (68 votes were needed for passage). The House also voted down, 67-65, a measure to provide grants to organizations that assist new mothers, babies, and families.
When elected Minnesota progs passed the most radical abortion legislation in the U.S. (and arguably the entire world) back in 2023, they had shot down every single solitary amendment the GOP offered, including a measure requiring basic medical care for a newborn surviving an abortion. Their rationale for voting down a seemingly common sense proposal was that such an instance is so very rare that a solution such as lifesaving techniques for an actual human being is irrelevant. Funny, but these same people use the philosophy of "if it saves just one life" whenever they put forth draconian gun control proposals, but can't be bothered to bring that same energy to preserving the life of an innocent baby.
But I digress.
Just you watch: during the 2026 election cycle, House DFLers will use the occurrence of this particular vote in campaign ads by essentially saying "Welp.....Republicans once again tried to ban abortion." Book it.
