Minnesota lawmaker revives push to strip rapists' parental rights

A Minnesota state senator plans to revive her push to give the state the ability to terminate the parental rights of alleged rapists, ending a seldom used loophole that has been closed in every other state save one: Alabama.

Sen. Kari Dziedzic, DFL-Minneapolis, said Tuesday that she intends to press for the change in next year’s session of the Legislature, reviving one of several proposals that have fallen by the wayside over the years.
