And to be clear, Massachusetts already had an extreme abortion policy. The previous 24-week cutoff had exceptions so vague that they were exceptions in name only. Monday’s signing ceremony was the result of the abortion industry’s years of work to ensure that unborn children have no protections whatsoever, even seconds before birth.
