Governor Tim Walz and his minions have suggested that Minnesota’s newfound status as a state that permits abortion up to and beyond the moment of birth, and as a “trans refuge” for sex change operations that otherwise would be illegal, will be a magnet, drawing desirable residents from around the nation.
