NOW is time to properly enshrine privacy and the subsumed right to reproductive freedom / body autonomy into Minnesota's Constitution. Such a step should definitively forestall a rogue judge from holding abortion unconstitutional in Minnesota. Delay is both counterproductive and unjustified.

It is being tried in federal court, the overstepping question, not whether DeSantis is an asshole. It is Crabgrass's opinion DeSantis by his repeated public conduct has proven himself an asshole, but that is not a trial issue.
