MN Court of Appeals rejects abortion challenge bid

By Pat Sweeney Apr 3, 2023 | 5:10 PM

The Minnesota Court of Appeals has rejected an attempt by the Traverse County prosecutor to appeal a judge’s decision last year that threw out most of the state’s restrictions on abortion as unconstitutional. Ramsey County District Judge Thomas Gilligan ruled last July, in a lawsuit filed by abortion rights supporters, that Minnesota’s restrictions violated the state constitution. Attorney General Keith Ellison declined to appeal. The appeals court on Monday affirmed Gilligan’s decision last September that Traverse County Attorney Matthew Franzese did not qualify to intervene in the case so that he could appeal Gilligan’s original ruling himself.
