Harris’s trip to Planned Parenthood clinic will be first time a president or vice-president has visited a reproductive health clinic
This will be Kamala Harris’ third trip to Minnesota as vice president, and the sixth stop on her nationwide “Fight for Reproductive Freedoms” tour.
There are no restrictions on abortion at any stage of pregnancy in Minnesota, and the state has become a refuge for patients from neighboring restrictive states to seek abortions since the supreme court overturned Roe v Wade. Abortion is currently illegal in more than a dozen states, including Minnesota neighbors North Dakota and South Dakota, and is restricted in Iowa and Wisconsin.
