According to CBS 12 in Providence, Massachusetts lawmakers approved a sweeping abortion bill yesterday aimed in part at building a firewall to protect access to the procedure after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last month. The bill would protect abortion providers and people seeking abortions from actions taken by other states, including blocking the governor from extraditing anyone charged in another state unless the acts for which extradition was sought would be punishable by Massachusetts law. The bill also states that access to reproductive and gender-affirming health care services is a right protected by the Massachusetts Constitution which requires the state’s Medicaid program, known as Mass Health, to cover abortions, allowing for over-the-counter emergency contraception to be sold in vending machines  and requires public colleges and universities to create medication abortion readiness plans for students.

The bill now heads to Republican Governor Charlie Baker’s desk.
