Massachusetts Democrat Gov. Maura Healey on Monday signed away the state’s limits on abortion.
The new law permits abortion at any point during the 40-week gestation cycle.
Previously, the state had allowed abortion only up until 24 weeks.
Healey proclaimed that Massachusetts now has the “strongest abortion protections in the country.”
Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll said it was a “step forward” in ensuring women get the “high-quality reproductive healthcare they deserve.”
Critics blasted the move as “celebrating the extermination of unwanted humans.”
Department of Agriculture Director Bruce LeVell said on X: “Massachusetts just crossed a line. This is not healthcare. This is the destruction of the most vulnerable.”
One woman wrote on X: “I’m Pro-Choice. I also refuse to participate in the increasingly grotesque fiction that being pro-choice requires us to celebrate abortion, sanitize what it actually entails, or pretend there should be no moral line anywhere. You can be pro-choice and still say that somewhere between an early pregnancy and a pregnancy approaching birth, the moral equation changes.”
The bill is scheduled to take effect in 90 days, overturning all limits on abortion in Massachusetts.
