dropped out of 2012 race
In June 2009, Governor Pawlenty announced he would not seek a third term in the 2010 election, and instead seeks the 2012 GOP presidential nomination. <ref>http://www.startribune.com/politics/state/46726117.html?elr=KArksLckD8EQDUoaEyqyP4O:DW3ckUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aU1yDEmP:QMDCinchO7DU</ref> "I don't know what the future holds for me, I'm not ruling anything in or out." <ref>http://www.startribune.com/politics/state/46726117.html?elr=KArksLckD8EQDUoaEyqyP4O:DW3ckUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aU1yDEmP:QMDCinchO7DU</ref>

Pawlenty has since dropped out of the race.
Although described by some as being [[pro-life]], Pawlenty gutted the "Woman's Right to Know" law that pro-lifers had spent nine years working on passing. Pawlenty arranged for a publicity stunt with a liberal medical group to justify removing the essential information that [[abortion]] causes an increase in breast cancer.<ref>http://www.lifenews.com/2003/12/30/state-281/</ref><ref>http://www.health.state.mn.us/wrtk/handbook.html</ref> Abortions decreased only slightly in Minnesota while Pawlenty was governor - not significantly more than the slight decrease nationwide.
