Misuse of Minn. tax dollars for elective abortions allowed to continue

The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Steven H. Aden regarding the Minnesota Supreme Court’s decision Tuesday to leave in place a lower court ruling in Walker v. Jesson that dismissed a lawsuit challenging the unauthorized use of state taxpayer funds to pay for abortions on demand:

“The government shouldn’t be spending taxpayer dollars unlawfully on medically unnecessary abortions. Regrettably, the Minnesota Supreme Court has left in place a ruling that allows the state to act contrary to the high court’s own 1995 decision that said it ‘will not permit any woman eligible for medical assistance to obtain an abortion ‘on demand.’ We will continue to look for opportunities to ensure that the hard-earned money of Minnesota taxpayers isn’t used to pay for unauthorized abortions and to ensure that taxpayer-funded abortions don’t disproportionately and tragically fall on the African-American community.”
