abortion

Polls were clear before and after the 2022 midterm election. A large majority of Americans think abortion should be legal. More than any other issue, abortion rights brought people out to vote in the last election.

Accompanied by elected officials and abortion rights activists, Attorney General Andrea Campbell announced a new legal advice hotline for abortion care providers and patients at a press conference Monday morning.

When ranked among 40 countries that spend funds on their children, the U.S. comes in 38th behind Finland, Germany, Denmark and France as well as Slovenia, Estonia, Russia and Mexico.

Activists and elected officials held demonstrations and press conferences, vowing to fight to preserve abortion rights in Massachusetts.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley and five other legislators announced the Women’s Health Protection Act on Tuesday, which guarantees a woman’s right to an abortion and the right of an abortion provider to give those services.
