AI Summary
This bill, known as the Protect Reproductive Options Act, establishes a fundamental right to reproductive health in Minnesota. It defines "reproductive health care" to include a wide range of services, such as contraception, abortion, and maternity care. The bill states that every individual has the right to make autonomous decisions about their own reproductive health, including the right to use or refuse reproductive health care. It also recognizes that the Minnesota Constitution's principles of individual liberty, personal privacy, and equality ensure the fundamental right to reproductive freedom. The bill prohibits local governments from regulating an individual's ability to exercise this right in a more restrictive manner than what is set forth in the bill.
