Proposed abortion restrictions will be permanently blocked in Minnesota as the state supreme court affirmed a lower court’s ruling preventing an anti-abortion group from intervening and relitigating in a historic case, Doe v. Minnesota, which ruled that the state’s constitution protects a fundamental right to choose and access abortion care.

Attorneys at the Lawyering Project, along with co-counsel at Gender Justice represented the plaintiffs. Legal Director at Gender Justice Jess Braverman responded to the Minnesota Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the lower court’s rulings in a press release issued May 30.
