Massachusetts advances abortion rights through stories
Women in Massachusetts continue to face restrictions on later-term abortions due to outdated laws requiring a "grave fetal diagnosis" before termination after 24 weeks. Legislation has been proposed to update the law, giving doctors more professional discretion and removing vague criteria, in response to stories of women forced to travel out of state for care. The bill has gained support from medical institutions and advocates seeking to improve access and align laws with current medical practices, especially as out-of-state travel remains a barrier amid increasing restrictions nationwide.
