On Monday, Governor Maura Healey of Massachusetts approved a significant abortion bill that has made major changes to the abortion laws in the state. The new legislation removes the prior 24-week gestational limit, allowing for greater flexibility in late-term abortion procedures.
This law grants physicians increased discretion in making decisions regarding abortions performed beyond 24 weeks. The move has ignited discussions about women’s rights and the extent of medical autonomy in making such critical choices.
