Tim Walz, the recently announced Democratic vice presidential nominee, has a record that proves he is a "radical" pro-abortion candidate, according to a conservative website.

Walz signed into law a Minnesota bill that includes no limitations on when a woman may end the life of her unborn baby.

The law, which was signed in January 2023, codified a Minnesota resident's right to an abortion, or any other form of "reproductive health care," without any restriction or regulation from local government.

"Every individual has a fundamental right to make autonomous decisions about the individual's own reproductive health, including the fundamental right to use or refuse reproductive health care," the law reads.

It defined "reproductive health care" as "health care offered, arranged, or furnished for the purpose of preventing pregnancy, terminating a pregnancy, managing pregnancy loss, or improving maternal health and birth outcomes."

The law further stipulated, "A local unit of government may not regulate an individual's ability to freely exercise the fundamental rights set forth in this section in a manner that is more restrictive than that set forth in this section."

Proponents of the legislation crafted it as "backlash against the U.S. Supreme Court decision" to reverse Roe v. Wade in 2022, according to the Associated Press.

Walz praised the legislation at the time for protecting women's reproductive health from the Supreme Court's decision.

"To Minnesotans, know that your access to reproductive health, and your right to make your own health care decisions, are preserved and protected," Walz said. "And because of this law, that won’t change with the political winds and the makeup of the Supreme Court."

Walz is also a proponent of radical transgender policies. In 2023, he issued an executive order ensuring that Minnesota children may obtain irreversible transgender surgeries and sterilizing hormone treatments, which proponents call "gender-affirming care."

The Trump campaign took aim at Walz's liberal policies immediately following the announcement he'd be Harris' running mate.

"Walz is obsessed with spreading California’s dangerously liberal agenda far and wide," said Trump spokesperson Karoline Leavitt. "If Walz won’t tell voters the truth, we will: Just like Kamala Harris, Tim Walz is a dangerously liberal extremist, and the Harris-Walz California dream is every American’s nightmare."

Pro-life organization Students for Life Action shared a statement from its president Kristan Hawkins to Fox News Digital on Tuesday about Harris' pick for vice presidential nominee.

"The Democratic Party ticket is now supersized with abortion radicals, as the abortion-talker Kamala Harris is joined by the abortion-doer Tim Walz," she said. "While Harris has been wildly ineffective as the Border Czar, Walz has been and will be the American Abortion Czar, as he has a track record proving his devotion to abortion in all trimesters and to the campaign funders at Planned Parenthood. This ticket is proof that taxpayers will be coerced into funding loss of life up until birth, because while Harris just talks about abortion, Walz delivered death to the people of Minnesota."
