Inconsistencies in health care decision law
[Responding to MPR News: Boy's disappearance shakes up Sleepy Eye] Consider an emancipated, pregnant minor. Why is it different when we can let a 13 year old make decisions about herself and her baby when she becomes pregnant? Anyone who becomes pregnant in the state of Minnesota, regardless of age, is considered an emancipated minor and makes her own decisions regarding her own health care and that of her infant.

Cyclist was in the bike lane
According to the Star Tribune, the cyclist was in the dedicated bicycle lane on Park Ave. [MPR News: Cyclist killed by truck in downtown Minneapolis] I think it it important for people to know that. Thanks.
