Board-certified OBGYN warns new Massachusetts late-term abortion law exposes mothers to danger

A board-certified OBGYN warned that Massachusetts' new late-term abortion law could expose mothers to danger, arguing that third-trimester procedures are medically unnecessary and risky. The law, signed by Gov. Maura Healey, allows for broader physician discretion in authorizing later abortions. Critics also dispute the claim that such procedures only occur in rare medical emergencies.
