Question Response Comments/Notes
1. In Minnesota, abortion is currently legal to the moment of a baby's birth. Do you oppose this? N† Note: "No politician or government has any right to tell Minnesotans what to do or how to raise a family. Women across Minnesota must have the right to make their own private healthcare decisions, with no worry of government overreach or interference. Everyday we are seeing more of our everyday rights eroding, and we must do everything in our power to ensure Minnesota remains a state where women can access every form of care they need. Vigorously defend abortion care and other forms of reproductive healthcare." | "I have served on the Board of Pro-Choice Minnesota/NARAL." https://annjohnsonstewart.com/priorities/
