One of the nation’s strictest abortion laws is now in effect in Iowa and Minnesota clinics are preparing for an increase in patients from across the border. Twenty percent of patients in Minnesota abortion clinics were from out of state last year, according to the Guttmacher Institute. Now that Iowa prohibits most abortion after six weeks of pregnancy, that number will likely increase.
Professor Laura Harrison is the director of Gender and Women’s Studies at Minnesota State University Mankato, she joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer to talk about the impact to Minnesota.
