MA Governor signed new Abortion Bill into law

The new bill allows abortion up to delivery... meaning, a woman can have her baby aborted if the pain is too much for her to bare during birth. Once the baby is out, it is protected... but just before the head comes out, it's still just a lump of cell that the mother and her doctor could decide to end it right there. 

The newly signed law removed all legal protections for unborn babies and legalized abortion at any time of pregnancy. The bill also removed procedural oversight and policies governing standards of care. For example, it allowed providers to perform abortions outside hospitals, in so-called health care treatment centers or any other place, according to the status. The law also barred insurance companies and other third-party medical review groups from overriding abortion-related decisions made by a woman and her physician.

Massachusetts’ new law removed the last protections for babies who perceive pain and could survive outside the womb born prematurely. If a baby is born prematurely, in their 7-8 months, they receive lifesaving care in the NICU because they are out of the woman. But other babies of the same age and even older (9th month) may now be legally killed if the mother decides not to have it.

Healey says MA couples shouldn't have to drive far for
medical needs.

Aren't people there now going to run from the state? That
new law is very scary.
