Massachusetts pro-lifers are mobilizing to stop a new abortion law in the state. Efforts are underway to oppose the legislation impacting abortion regulations in Massachusetts.

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signed House Bill 5595 into law, legalizing abortion up until the moment of birth and removing previous protections for unborn babies after 24 weeks. The law allows physicians to make abortion decisions based on their medical judgment without legal or insurance oversight, effectively permitting late-term abortions throughout all nine months of pregnancy in Massachusetts.

Massachusetts state legislators approved a bill that would remove protections for unborn babies after 24 weeks gestation and allow abortions into the third trimester based on a physician's professional judgment. The bill, now on Governor Maura Healey's desk, would also permit abortions outside hospitals and bar insurance or third-party groups from overriding abortion decisions made by a woman and her physician.
