As a political entity, liberalism is confusing. Maura Healey, the Democrat governor of Massachusetts, would have you believe she is focused on ordinary governance, but lately she seems to be dabbling in obstetrics and childcare, couching advocacy for filicide as “prioritizing patient access to care.” How altruistic of her.
