Today Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton vetoed a bill that sought to ban coverage of abortion for women who receive health insurance through the state’s Medicaid program.
"All women deserve to be healthy and safe," said Governor Dayton in a letter addressed to the state legislature.

When public funding covers abortion: how's that working out?
Massachusetts is one of just 15 states that permits state-subsidized insura
nce to cover abortion care. It leads the country in insuring its citizens and enacted health care reform in 2006. Theoretically, all women in Massachusetts who need an abortion should be able to get one without delay.
