Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate for the upcoming election. Pro-abortion groups are overjoyed at this decision.
The anti-Life organization Reproductive Freedom for All (formerly NARAL Pro-Choice America) applauded Walz as Harris’ vice president pick. “Gov. Walz has been a steadfast champion for reproductive freedom, working tirelessly to protect and expand abortion access for Minnesotans. We applaud Vice President Harris for selecting him as her running mate—solidifying the most pro-reproductive freedom presidential ticket in U.S. history.”
Jenny Lawson, executive director of Planned Parenthood Votes, praised Harris and Walz for their contributions to the pro-abortion movement. After that, she emphasized, “The Trump-Vance ticket is the biggest threat to reproductive freedom we’ve seen in generations and they must be stopped. Planned Parenthood Votes is working to ensure Kamala Harris and Tim Walz make it to the White House, where they can build on the work Harris has done as vice president to protect our lives, bodies, and futures.”
At a rally in Philadelphia, Harris commended Walz for being the first governor to pass a pro-abortion state law after the overturning of Roe.

What is Tim Walz’s Pro-Abortion Record?
While serving as Governor of Minnesota, Walz signed the Protect Reproductive Options (PRO) Act into law. This law guarantees a “fundamental right” to abortion in the state, without any restrictions or protections in place.
When running for governor, Walz declared he supported “maintaining the timelines outlined by current law.” At the time, Minnesota had a 24-week abortion ban. He even accused Republicans of lying when they claimed he supported unlimited abortion.
However, the Protect Reproductive Options Act permits unrestricted abortion at any point during pregnancy and denies parents the right to know if their minor daughter is seeking one.
Despite the media’s insistence that abortions simply don’t happen so late in pregnancy, Minnesota is one of nine states in the nation (plus D.C.) that has legalized and protected abortion without gestational limits since the reversal of Roe.
