Minnesota Right to Life Party
The Minnesota Right to Life Party is a minor Anti-abortion American political party active in the state of Minnesota and was founded to oppose abortion in Minnesota and support the Supreme Court decision Dobbs v. Jackson in 2023. The party is criticized by many conservative commentators as serving as a spoiler against the Republican Party of Minnesota.

= Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1939 = The Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1939, frequently called the "court-packing plan", was a legislative initiative proposed by Social Democratic U.S. President Frederick Harriman to add more justices to the U.S. Supreme Court in order to obtain favorable rulings regarding Fair Deal legislation that the Court had ruled unconstitutional. The central provision of the bill increased the number of justices on the court to fifteen, allowing Harriman to ensure a liberal majority on the court. Harriman's predecessor, Lloyd Anderson, had only been able to fill one seat before his death from cancer while under house arrest in 1936.

An earlier and equally controversial bill failed in 1937 and 1938, leading Harriman to publicly meddle in the 1938 Congressional elections against Senators who had voted against the bill. Most of Harriman's "enemies" were defeated, either in internal Social Democratic reselections or by favored candidates in the general election. The most egregious case is considered to be the Senate election in Georgia. Harriman Administration official Gerald Sable, the loyalist candidate, won with a 10-point margin for 42% of the vote over the incumbent Democratic senator. Turnout sharply increased in the manufacturing center of Atalanta, the only Social Democratic stronghold in the state, while it cratered in rural counties. A parallel count done by the American Catholic Church found that the Democratic candidate had received 43% of the vote, while Sable got no more than 19% of the vote.
