Massachusetts Legalizes Abortion Up to Birth
Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signed a bill removing all gestational age limits for abortion, making it the 10th state to allow abortion up to birth. The law repeals a prior restriction that limited abortions after 24 weeks except in life-threatening circumstances. The new law allows for elective abortion through all weeks of pregnancy based upon the professional judgment of a medical doctor performing the abortion.86 sourcesSee all sources
