AI Summary
This bill establishes reproductive health rights in Minnesota, codifying them as fundamental rights. It prohibits the state from denying, restricting, or interfering with an individual's autonomous decisions about their reproductive health, including the right to choose or refuse contraception, sterilization, and abortion. The bill also recognizes the right to privacy regarding personal reproductive decisions, and states that a fertilized egg, embryo, or fetus does not have independent rights under state law. Additionally, the bill prohibits the state from discriminating in the protection or enforcement of these reproductive health rights, and from prosecuting or depriving individuals of their rights based on the potential or actual impact on their own health or pregnancy. Individuals can pursue civil action if their rights under this bill are violated.
