What to Know About a Possible Minnesota Equal Rights Amendment That Would Protect Abortion Rights
[[link removed]]
In the aftermath of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Minnesota Democrats took control of government and passed sweeping protections for abortion rights into state law. At the start of the 2024 legislative session, they looked poised to go even further. Top leaders said they wanted to put the question to voters on whether to enshrine protections for everything from sex, race and gender identity to reproductive rights in the state's Constitution in a wide-ranging equal rights amendment. Three months later, DFLers in control are still debating if — and how — they're going to do it. Democrats in the House on Thursday presented the latest version of the amendment that they hope will end up on the ballot, but it's still unclear if that language can pass the Senate.
Here's what to know about the amendment, the debate among Democrats and the multimillion-dollar campaigns that could follow.

Halle Berry and Senator Amy Klobuchar Team Up to Announce Menopause Legislation
[[link removed]]
Actor Halle Berry joined a group of bipartisan senators on Thursday to announce new legislation to promote menopause research, training and education.
"I'm here because I'm standing up for myself. Because I know that when a woman stands up for herself, she stands up for all women," Berry said.
The bill, called the Advancing Menopause Care and Mid-Life Women's Health Act, is sponsored by a group of women including Sens. Patty Murray, Lisa Murkowski, Tammy Baldwin, Susan Collins, Shelley Moore Capito, and Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar. It would devote tens of millions of dollars to menopause research, to raise public awareness and to train health care providers.

Texas Man Files Legal Action to Probe Ex-Partner’s Out-of-State Abortion, Highlighting New Anti-Choice Legal Strategy in Pro-Choice States
[[link removed]]
As soon as Collin Davis found out his ex-partner was planning to travel to Colorado to have an abortion in late February, the Texas man retained a high-powered antiabortion attorney — who court records show immediately issued a legal threat. If the woman proceeded with the abortion, even in a state where the procedure remains legal, Davis would seek a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding the abortion and “pursue wrongful-death claims against anyone involved in the killing of his unborn child,” the lawyer wrote in a letter, according to records.
Now, Davis has disclosed his former partner’s abortion to a state district court in Texas, asking for the power to investigate what his lawyer characterizes as potentially illegal activity in a state where almost all abortions are banned.
The decision to target an abortion that occurred outside of Texas represents a potential new strategy by antiabortion activists to achieve a goal many in the movement have been working toward since Roe v. Wade was overturned: stopping women from traveling out of state to end their pregnancies. Crossing state lines for abortion care remains legal nationwide.
