Anti-abortion ad taking over Minnesota airwaves makes misleading claims

MINNEAPOLIS — You may have seen an anti-abortion ad that's taken over Minnesota airwaves recently.

The ad put out by Minnesota Citizens Concerned For Life (MCCL) says that Minnesota has the "most extreme abortion law in the country."

That claim is misleading. It is true that Minnesota has one of the most pro-abortion rights laws in the nation.

Abortion laws differ and can be interpreted differently.

The anti-abortion group, the Family Research Council, puts Minnesota in a group of more than 20 states that it says "do not protect unborn life." But the pro-abortion rights group, Center for Reproductive Freedom, put Minnesota in the same category as ten other states permitting full access.
