What are your thoughts on Massachusetts laws still on the books that restrict abortion of other reproductive activities? I saw in today’s Globe that Mass still has some, even though the SJC ruled them unconstitutional. I also just saw a map in WaPo showing states that have anti-abortion and anti-birth control laws ready to be fired up if the Supreme Court goes down that path. It also showed states with laws still on the books, like ours.
In general, I think removing laws the SJC ruled against is good policy.
I’m totally on this page. I’d like to see us repeal a lot or archaic laws.
Have cosponsored this legislation repeatedly. With the Supremes turning right, next session may finally be when we get it done.
From front page of today’s Globe:
“State lawmakers aim to ensure abortion remains legal in Mass”
