All State House Democrats but one and 29 RINOs just voted to spend your taxpayer dollars on abortion funding. No clearer standard could ever be established for which Republicans legislators are RINOs than supporting taxpayer funded abortions. Despite Republicans holding the gavel and enough votes to block any legislation, RINOs will always drop the ball and work with big government Democrats. See the vote below:

The full debate on the House floor for this bill can be seen here. The bill (HF2435) funds the state's Health, DCYF (Dept. of Children, Youth, and Families), and Human Services departments and funds an ungodly amount of programs and grants. Between the lines of all the regulations, policy, and Billions in spending within the 263 page monstrosity is abortion funding under the guise of "Medical Assistance". It is difficult to calculate how much is directed to Planned Parenthood and abortion from Medical Assistance but they are undoubtedly funded through it. 

This bill also funded Sexual and Reproductive Health Services (SRHS) program (which funds Planned Parenthood) to the tune of almost $23M! See below:

According to the 'Grantees and awards' PDFs on the SRHS webpage, Planned Parenthood will receive over $10.7M across five years for sexual and reproductive grants. Planned Parenthood also will receive over $7.3M in "Family Planning awards" in the eight state regions across five years. See below:

The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program also gave over $2.3M to SRHS grants. The TANF money for SRHS grants was a continuation from the 2023 spending bill which gave the exact same amount! This means that sneaky Planned Parenthood spending is sometimes the exact same under the Democrat trifecta or the House GOP holding the Speakership and a 67 Rep. voting block. See spending below:

One might wonder how many amendments Republicans pushed on the floor to remove the funding for Planned Parenthood. The answer is a staggering ZERO! GOP party leadership like empty suit Lisa 'Kamala' Demuth clearly did not want to have RINO members exposed with an up or down vote on the singular topic of Planned Parenthood/abortion funding. Instead, Republicans advocated for more taxpayer spending for pregnancy centers, which is not the role of government and is simply throwing more tax money in another direction.

Demuth has officially brought a vote before the body where the majority of GOP Reps voted no. This means that Demuth is working not only against the interests of the conservative grassroots but also the GOP caucus. A Speaker should never bring a vote without the majority support of the party membership who elected them. Demuth has failed and pushed a big government, liberal, unconstitutional, pro-abortion agenda. GOP Reps may begin to look at replacement options.

Beyond abortion and Planned Parenthood funding, this bill is in clear violation of Article 4, Section 17 of the MN Constitution which limits a bill to a single subject and in violation of the MNGOP platform which opposes omnibus spending bills. As a policy and appropriations bill for three different govt. departments, this is obviously multi-subject and a corrupt way to run government. 

Due to our fight against taxpayer funding to kill unborn babies, Action 4 Liberty is AGAIN a target of the MNGOP leadership!

A4L President Erik Mortensen sent an email out about Medical Assistance funding in the Human Services omnibus bill (HF2434) that he presumed funded abortions (as the program does). RINO Jim Nash (48A) even admitted on the floor that the program funds abortion. That aside, there is no reasonable doubt that the bill that passed today (5/12/25) 100% contains abortion and Planned Parenthood funding.

MNGOP Chair Alex Plechash took a desperate swing at A4L to protect RINO legislators who vote for taxpayer funding for abortion. In an attempt to curry favor with the Globalist RINO Emmer Establishment, Plechash published a social media post and email attacking A4L for "lying" about abortion funding. Ironically, Plechash lies in his statement by suggesting that taxpayer funding of abortion is "not because of any vote by Republicans"! In recent history, the legislature ALWAYS passes taxpayer funding for abortions under the guise of Medical Assistance, it is not automatic due to Doe v. Gomez! Courts cannot compel a legislator to vote for abortion funding! Even RINO Jim Nash (48A) admitted this on the floor! As seen above, watch him admit it funds abortion here!

If GOP legislators would have refused to fund Planned Parenthood and abortions at large, it would certainly set up a fiery battle but it would also be a rally cry that the conservative base would love. Instead, Plechash is covering up how abortion really gets funded.

Plechash also cites MCCL as some great leader of the pro-life movement however a MCCL lobbyist (Don Parker) "begged" Sen. Nathan Wesenberg (SD10) to not push a ‘Life at Conception’ amendment on the Senate floor because it was "too extreme". Only a fake pro-life group would say that. MCCL, who's Exec. Director is RINO Congresswoman Michelle Fischbach's husband, covers up for RINOs who vote to fund abortion and is not a trustworthy source.

Shouldn't the MNGOP be holding RINO legislators accountable to the party platform instead of covering for them when real conservatives criticize the corruption? It seems obvious but Plechash has now repeatedly attacked the base that he serves as chair for rather than representing their interests. MNGOP leadership should instead be more hostile with RINO legislators funding abortion or 'white dude for Kamala' Michael Brodkorb who got tens of thousands of dollars from the party while RINO David Hann was party chair.  

The MNGOP is in desperation-mode to align with the establishment as almost all wings of the Republican Party has lost faith in Plechash’s ability to lead. Some have even suggested Plechash violated the Hatch Act due to using the official title of Veterans Affairs Sec. Doug Collins in their Lincoln-Reagan Dinner emails and announcement which could see a complaint filed. Despite A4L getting attacked by the party, there was an A4L VIP table at the event. This is coupled with accusations that GOP U.S. Congressmen and other party leaders boycotted the dinner, which ran attendees at least $180 per person (although the House was in session during the dinner). Reports have also emerged that MN Congressmembers are withholding support for the party until A4L is removed! The anti-free speech tactics to silence our truth-telling will fail like every attempt to take us down that has happened before. 

House RINOs just voted to fund abortion but it is not too late! The Senate could vote against this bill or amend it and since the bill will go through a Conference Committee, House Reps can change their vote to do the right thing! This bill was Democrat led all the way through and should be defeated. Patriots can find and contact their legislators here.

Action 4 Liberty will always stand for limited government and will never cover for RINOs who vote for taxpayer funded abortions. In our pursuit of truth, we may make some missteps but we will never intentionally mislead you as it seems Alex Plechash is doing. We will continue our fight to expose corruption and the evil, out of control, bloated government.

Don't forget, here are the 29 RINO Reps who just voted for taxpayer funded abortion: Reps. Keith Allen (19A), Paul Anderson (12A), Jeff Backer (9A), Dave Baker (16B), Greg Davids (26B), Lisa Demuth (13A), Mary Franson (12B), Steve Gander (1B), Josh Heintzeman (6B), Spencer Igo (7A), Wayne Johnson (41A), Ron Kresha (10A), Andrew Myers (45A), Danny Nadeau (34A), Nathan Nelson (11B), Harry Niska (31A), Tim O'Driscoll (13B), Bernie Perryman (14A), Aaron Repinski (26A), Kristin Robbins (37A), Joe Schomacker (21A), Tom Sexton (19B), Roger Skraba (3A), Chris Swedzinski (15A), Paul Torkelson (15B), Cal Warwas (7B), Nolan West (32A), Jeff Witte (57B), and Natalie Zeleznikar (3B).
