Massachusetts Legalizes Abortion Up to Birth

Massachusetts Legalizes Abortion Up to Birth; ‘The Progressive Death Cult Takes Over’
The Bay State joins a list of states with a similarly dark approach to innocent human life. Newsweek: Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signed legislation on Monday that gives doctors the final say on whether an abortion should be allowed late in pregnancy, making it the 10th state to allow the procedure at any point in pregnancy (Newsweek).

I am deeply ashamed for my country.

This is what a 34-week-old baby looks like outside the womb.

In Massachusetts, you can now abort an unborn baby at this age.

Julia Cassidy: It was an utterly macabre scene in Massachusetts [Monday], as Democrat Gov. Maura Healey signed legislation legalizing abortion up to birth and removing previously existing protections for post-24 weeks abortions. The death sentence, which overwhelmingly passed the Democrat House on July 22, was met with cheers and smiles of surrounding women who champion “reproductive freedoms.” The new legislation removes the previous 24 week limitation, permitting abortion throughout the pregnancy by “allowing physicians to rely on their professional medical judgment, consistent with accepted standards of care, when providing abortion care later in pregnancy.”  It also eliminated a list of “statutory exceptions” that previously permitted late-term abortion in “exceptional cases.” Now, with a doctor’s approval, abortion can be performed at any point for virtually any reason (Townhall).

More from Joe Chalfant in his piece, “The Progressive Death Cult Takes Over Massachusetts”: Remember when Democrats would tell you that “no one celebrates abortion”? (Townhall).
