- Choose Life Drive | MCCL
Update: The 2025-2026 Choose Life Drive is now complete. Thanks to everyone who generously contributed! For MCCL's 2025-2026 Choose Life Drive, we are excited to continue our partnership with EveryLife, a pro-life diaper company, to advance our shared mission of helping moms and babies. Last year, thanks to your generosity, we exceeded our expectations, so we're DOUBLING our goal this year to provide diapers and wipes for twice as many babies. Here's how it works: Donations to the MCCL Choose Life Drive will provide EveryLife diapers and wipes to the 80+ pregnancy resource centers across Minnesota. Our aim this year is to provide two boxes of diapers and wipes (enough to care for a baby for two months) for each and every center. Your gift of $25 provides two weeks' worth of diapers and wipes for a baby; $50 provides a full month's worth. Make your contribution today! The annual Choose Life Drive is a response to the Dec. 15 anniversary of the horrific Doe v. Gomez ruling, which imposed taxpayer funding of abortion in Minnesota. It lasts until the end of January. This year's Drive comes at an important time: In 2023, lawmakers repealed Minnesota’s Positive Alternatives Act, which had provided funding to dozens of life-affirming programs supporting thousands and thousands of women. With that funding going way, many pregnancy resource centers are less able to meet the needs of pregnant women in Minnesota. Your help is very appreciated! If you'd like to go beyond diapers and wipes, you can give to the Choose Life Drive through our registry of other items for moms and babies. All items will be distributed to pregnancy resource centers that serve mothers and families across Minnesota, offering practical assistance, hope, and alternatives to abortion. You can also download promotional posters to share and encourage others to participate in the Choose Life Drive. Thank you for your compassion and your commitment to life!
- What Is Abortion? | Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life
Abortion is the intentional killing of a human being in utero (a human embryo or fetus). Here are the main abortion methods that are used today. WHAT IS ABORTION? Abortion is the intentional killing of a human being in utero (a human embryo or fetus). Here are the main abortion methods that are used today. Suction curettage/aspiration This first-trimester surgical method is the most common method of abortion. A tube attached to a powerful suction machine is inserted into the uterus, and the unborn child is vacuumed out of the womb. A curette may then be used to scrape out any remaining parts. (See a medical illustration of the procedure.) Some early suction abortions (often before seven weeks) employ a hand-held syringe rather than a suction machine. This is called manual vacuum aspiration. Chemical abortion Chemical or drug-induced (non-surgical) abortions are also used early in pregnancy (through about nine weeks). The pregnant woman is usually given a combination of two drugs. The first drug, mifepristone (RU486), blocks the flow of progesterone receptors in the uterine lining, depriving the unborn child of necessary fluids and nutrients. The second drug, a prostaglandin (usually misoprostol), is later taken to cause contractions that expel the child. Dilation and evacuation The primary abortion method during the second trimester is called dilation and evacuation (D & E) or dismemberment abortion. Instruments are used to reach into the uterus and grasp parts of the unborn child (such as arms and legs) and tear them out piece by piece; the head may need to be crushed in order to facilitate removal. The placenta and any remaining uterine contents may then be suctioned or scraped out of the womb. After the procedure, the body parts are reassembled on a tray to make sure that nothing is left inside the mother. (See a medical illustration of this procedure.) Partial-birth abortion Called dilation and extraction (D & X) or “intact D & E,” partial-birth abortion involves using instruments to remove the unborn child—intact rather than in pieces—from the womb feet-first until only the head remains inside. The back of the skull is punctured and the brain suctioned out, collapsing the head. The delivery of the dead child is then completed. The use of partial-birth abortion on a living unborn child was banned under federal law in 2003, and the ban was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in its 2007 Gonzales v. Carhart decision. The D & X procedure may still be performed if the unborn child is killed first through lethal injection. Induction abortion Another late-term abortion method involves inducing uterine contractions to prematurely expel the child. Drugs (often prostaglandins like misoprostol) are used to induce labor. Today, to prevent the possibility of a live birth, the child is usually killed by lethal injection before delivery. A chemical agent such as digoxin or potassium chloride is injected into the amniotic fluid, umbilical cord, or heart in order to kill the child.

Abortion up to birth in the state Constitution? That's too extreme for Minnesota. Too extreme for Minnesota. Abortion up to birth in the Constitution? That's too extreme for Minnesota. Minnesota law already allows abortion without limits. Now some legislators and advocates want to permanently enshrine this policy in the state Constitution—while excluding protection for the rights of conscience and religion. The constitutional amendment bill failed to pass in 2024 , but advocates are trying again in 2026 (SF 473 —the so-called "Equal Rights Amendment" or ERA). The proposal is not just extreme but also dishonest . If the bill passes, voters would be asked on the ballot to protect equal rights based on "pregnancy" (among other things), with no mention of abortion. Voters would never see the language in the bill that defines the word "pregnancy" to include the right to unlimited abortion! What can you do right now? Contact your state senator and representative and tell them: "Vote NO on the Equal Rights Abortion Amendment." Contact your state lawmakers here , or call your senator at 651-296-0504 and your representative at 651-296-2146. Don't know who represents you? Find out here . Frequently Asked Questions: Minnesota’s extreme abortion policy and the proposal to enshrine it in the Constitution Does Minnesota law really allow abortion for any reason—all the way up to birth? Yes. In 2023, lawmakers enacted a “fundamental right” to abortion (HF 1) with no limitations at any stage in pregnancy (legislators rejected dozens of amendments that would have made the law more moderate, including amendments to prevent elective abortions in the third trimester). Lawmakers in 2023 also repealed a 1974 law that had limited abortion after viability, leaving no gestational limit remaining in Minnesota statute (SF 2995). Now, in 2026, some lawmakers and advocates want to enshrine this extreme policy in the Minnesota Constitution so that future lawmakers won’t be able to legislate on the issue. Aren’t late abortions extremely rare or non-existent? Although most abortions occur earlier in pregnancy, 294 Minnesota abortions took place at 20 weeks or later in 2022 alone , according to the Department of Health. And the numbers could increase following the 2023 legal changes, which included repeal of the law limiting abortion after viability. (Prior to its repeal, the legal status of the viability law had been unclear, but abortion practitioners still “adhered to it in practice,” according to an analysis in Minnesota Reformer .) Now, no legal obstacle remains to prevent practitioners who focus on abortions late in pregnancy (like Warren Hern and the late LeRoy Carhart ) from setting up shop in Minnesota—or to prevent existing abortion facilities from expanding the window during which they perform abortions. Passage of the proposed constitutional amendment would be a further invitation to anyone who wants to practice late abortion in Minnesota. In fact, a former practitioner of third-trimester abortions in Kansas and New Mexico told the Sahan Journal that she “would not feel comfortable opening a third-trimester practice in Minnesota” when the viability law remained on the books, but that she would be open to it after the law’s repeal. “If I could find a hospital that would provide backup without regard to gestational age, then I would consider setting up a clinic in Minnesota,” she said. “Being surrounded by anti-abortion states, Minnesota would be a good location for a clinic.” Don't late abortions only happen for health reasons? Evidence actually shows that late abortions are usually elective. “Data suggest that most women seeking later terminations are not doing so for reasons of fetal anomaly or life endangerment,” explains a study published in Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health . Arizona has collected data on health reasons for abortion at different stages of pregnancy, and the data indicate that about 80 percent of abortions at 21 weeks or later are not related to health at all (whether fetal health or maternal health). In any case, Minnesota’s extreme policy allows late abortions for any reason and is not limited to reasons of fetal or maternal health. What makes Minnesota’s policy the most extreme in the country? In addition to establishing a fundamental right to abortion without limits, at any time during pregnancy, Minnesota lawmakers in 2023 repealed numerous longstanding abortion-related laws. The repealed laws included a measure protecting born-alive infants from being left to die, a program providing practical support to pregnant women, a requirement that women receive informed consent before abortion, and a requirement that only physicians perform abortion. With the repeal of the born-alive protection, Minnesota law no longer requires that “reasonable measures consistent with good medical practice” be taken “to preserve the life and health of the born alive infant.” Instead, only “care” is required, which the bill's author described as “comfort" care (as opposed to lifesaving treatment). The language also now applies to any babies born alive, not just ones who survive abortion. Thus, while this change threatens abortion survivors, it could also endanger babies born with disabilities and congenital illnesses. When do unborn children feel pain? Growing evidence shows that unborn children can feel pain earlier than previously thought. A leading researcher whose work was often cited by abortion defenders (because he held that unborn children couldn’t feel pain until 24 weeks) has changed his mind in light of this evidence, writing in the Journal of Medical Ethics that fetal pain is possible as early as 12 weeks. More than 1,600 Minnesota abortions took place after that point in 2022, often involving a brutal process of dismemberment. Copyright © 2026 MCCL. All rights reserved.

- Abortion Extremism in Minnesota | MCCL
Minnesota now has as extreme an abortion policy as anywhere in the world. Abortion extremism in Minnesota Did you know? Minnesota’s abortion policy is as extreme as any in the world. In 2023, Minnesota lawmakers and Gov. Tim Walz enacted legislation making abortion legal for any reason and at any time throughout pregnancy. They also repealed a previous bipartisan requirement that infants who are born alive receive medically appropriate care that could save their lives. The result of these and other legal changes? Abortions are increasing significantly : A total of 14,124 abortions took place in 2023, a 39 percent rise over just two years, according to the Minnesota Department of Health . Some legislators and advocates now want to permanently enshrine Minnesota’s extreme abortion policy in the state Constitution. If they succeed, future lawmakers would be unable to protect unborn children—even viable babies late in pregnancy who can feel pain. A proposed constitutional amendment (a pro-abortion version of the so-called “Equal Rights Amendment”) was introduced in 2024, but it failed to pass the legislature after Minnesotans all across the state urged their lawmakers to reject it. A poll found that 64 percent of Minnesotans didn’t want abortion included in the amendment (KSTP/SurveyUSA, May 2024). Now, in 2026, advocates are again trying to pass the abortion-up-to-birth amendment (SF 473 ).

Learn how Minnesota lawmakers are excluding vulnerable members of the human family . Minnesota isn't so "nice" anymore: Watch and share the video about Minnesota's extreme policy . How we got here A 1995 Minnesota Supreme Court decision, Doe v. Gomez , asserted a right to abortion in the state Constitution and required taxpayer funding of abortion through Minnesota’s Medicaid program. Even though the U.S. Supreme Court no longer requires abortion-on-demand nationwide (as it did under Roe v. Wade ), state courts still impose it here in Minnesota. In 2023, DFL legislative majorities and Gov. Tim Walz went even further. They enacted legislation to enshrine in Minnesota statute a “fundamental right” to abortion up to birth, rejecting any and all gestational limits (HF 1). They also repealed most of Minnesota’s longstanding abortion laws (SF 2995), including laws ensuring full inform ed consent for women and preventing non-physicians from performing abortions. They even repealed Minnesota’s Positive Alternatives Act that provided support and alternatives to abortion for pregnant women who want to carry their babies to term. Newborns denied protection Minnesota law used to guarantee lifesaving care for infants who survive abortion. In 2023, though, the legislature and Gov. Walz repealed the requirement that “reasonable measures consistent with good medical practice” be taken “to preserve the life and health of the born alive infant.” They replaced the requirement for lifesaving measures with a requirement for only “care” (which the bill's author described as mere “comfort" care). Moreover, the new law no longer applies just to babies who survive abortion, but rather to all babies who are born alive. Under the new language, then, any viable infant, whether born as a result of abortion or not, could be denied lifesaving treatment and allowed to die. Babies born with disabilities, whose lives are often devalued, could be especially at risk. In addition, lawmakers and Walz repealed the requirement to report cases in which babies survive abortion (several had been reported in most years) . The public will no longer know how many babies survive abortion—or what care they do or do not receive. Read more: Here's a point-by-point explanation, with documentation, of how the legislature and Walz repealed protection for born-alive infants .

In any case, Minnesota’s policy allows late abortions for any reason and is not limited to reasons of fetal or maternal health. Does the public support Minnesota’s policy? Not a single poll shows that Minnesotans want a no-limits abortion policy. Instead, polls show the opposite. Two polls in late 2022—a Star Tribune/MPR News/KARE 11 poll and a KSTP/SurveyUSA poll—both found that just 30 percent of Minnesotans think abortion should always be legally permitted (Minnesota's policy). A nationwide NPR/PBS/Marist poll in April 2023, meanwhile, found that just 22 percent of Americans support unlimited abortion. DFL lawmakers are decisively out of step with most Minnesotans—and with most of the country and most of the world. Wasn't the previous law protecting born-alive infants unnecessary and burdensome? Data from the Minnesota Department of Health shows that, in most years, three to five babies survive abortion procedures and are born alive. Those babies deserve a right to appropriate medical treatment. Lawmakers who voted to repeal that right in 2023 claimed that the repealed language required futile attempts to save pre-viable infants’ lives. That’s false. In truth, the repealed law simply required “reasonable measures consistent with good medical practice.” After the recent actions of the legislature, newborns are no longer guaranteed care that could save their lives.
