Keith Ellison says Minnesota will defend abortion restrictions in court

Attorney General Keith Ellison intends to defend a slate of state laws restricting abortion access against a recent legal challenge, despite his personal views on the issue.

“My job is to defend the laws of the state of Minnesota without regard to my own personal opinions,” Ellison said during a forum in Fergus Falls Friday. “That’s the job that I have, that’s what I signed up for, and that’s what I’m going to do.”
