- ‘Barbaric’ abortion provision fuels Christian push to crack down on Dem governor
A Catholic organization called CatholicVote is pressuring Massachusetts bishops regarding a new law signed by Gov. Maura Healey that eliminates previous restrictions on abortions after 24 weeks. CatholicVote argues that Healey should face formal discipline, including being considered an "accomplice" in abortion under canon law. Bishop Robert Barron sharply condemned the law, calling it barbaric and expressing alarm over potential procedures up to birth.
