Abortions declined slightly in 2024 but have risen 35 percent since 2021, according to a corrected-but-still-incomplete report from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH). MDH has revised its original Dec. 31 report after mistakenly double-counting more than 2,500 abortions. According to the new data, last year’s abortion total of 13,729 marked a nearly 7 percent drop, but it excludes several hundred abortions from one longstanding facility that was active during 2024. The gestational age of many abortions was not reported as required. “The surge in abortions in recent years, and the major reporting failures, are a reminder that DFL lawmakers have made Minnesota an extreme outlier—in the region, in the country, and in…

With 2025 in the rear view, so too, are President Donald Trump’s 225 executive orders. At least 14 orders focused on education reform. One order demands the end of “illegal discrimination” and restoration of “merit-based opportunity.” Another calls for the abolition of “radical, anti-American” indoctrination in K-12 schooling. Executive orders — even when unimpeded by the courts — have a shelf life. Trump’s successor will be fully within his powers to slash the executive orders of his predecessor to pieces. The Trump administration has just a few years to enshrine their education goals into policy capable of withstanding future administrations.…
