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 mayor - not significantly more than the slight decrease nationwide.
