Late-term abortion takes front seat as blue state rushes to expand access before session ends
Massachusetts is moving to expand abortion access up to 24 weeks of pregnancy through the Prioritizing Patients' Access to Care Act, which passed the House and aims to remove existing legal restrictions. The bill would allow licensed physicians to decide late-term abortions based on medical judgment, mirroring a 2023 law in Maine.
