MA House of Representatives Approves an Abortion Protection Bill

According to CBS 12 in Providence, The Massachusetts House of Representatives has approved a bill that aims to protect abortion providers and people seeking abortions from actions taken by other states. The bill passed yesterday is part of a wider effort by officials to build a firewall to ensure abortion access in Massachusetts after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The House bill echoes an executive order signed last week by Republican Governor Charlie Baker barring state agencies from assisting another state’s investigation into those receiving or delivering reproductive health services that are legal in Massachusetts as it now goes to the Senate.
