04 MAY 2017 - ST. PAUL, MN: A woman stands at the top of the stairs leading into the Minnesota State Senate chamber during a rally to protect choice at the Minnesota Capitol. About 50 people came to a protest to urge Minnesota State Senators to vote against two bills supported by the Republican party that would restrict access to women's health care in Minnesota. The protest was organized by NARAL Pro-Choice Minnesota, NCJW Minnesota, and Planned Parenthood Minnesota. The Senate passed the bills but Minnesota's Democratic governor is expected to veto the legislation when it reaches his desk. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
