Mass Passes Bill to allow killing babies up to birth

“The real question today is not when human life begins, but, What is the value of human life? The abortionist who reassembles the arms and legs of a tiny baby to make sure all its parts have been torn from its mother’s body can hardly doubt whether it is a human being. The real question for him and for all of us is whether that tiny human life has a God-given right to be protected by the law — the same right we have.”-- Ronald Reagan

The radical Massachusetts Senate on Friday rammed through a grotesque bill that greenlights the slaughter of healthy unborn babies right up until the moment of birth. Lawmakers have now shipped this atrocity to Gov. Maura Healey, a fervent abortion advocate who is all but certain to sign it into law and further cement the Commonwealth’s status as a sanctuary for the abortion industry.

Democrats [aka socialists] steamrolled the measure this afternoon, deliberately short-circuiting the normal committee process so the full Senate could rubber-stamp the bill before the legislature adjourned. House Bill 5595 had already sailed through the heavily Democrat-controlled House on July 22 by a lopsided 119-33 vote. The babies involved are too young to vote.

Under existing Massachusetts law, abortions are already permitted through 24 weeks—yet even that permissive regime contains only the flimsiest exceptions that effectively allow the procedure until birth. Abortions beyond that point have been restricted to cases where the mother’s life or health is purportedly threatened (a loophole so elastic it can mean virtually anything) or when the child is judged unlikely to survive outside the womb.

This new legislation shreds those last remaining fig leaves. It replaces specific medical criteria with a single, rubber-stamp approval from the abortionist himself. In plain English, it authorizes the killing of babies at any gestational age after 24 weeks—for any reason whatsoever. [If this isn't legal barbarianism, I don't know what is.]

Second- and third-trimester abortions typically involve either dismemberment [cutting off arms, legs, beheading, for example] or labor induction. The latter can and does result in a living child being delivered if the abortionist has not first injected a lethal dose into the baby’s heart to ensure “fetal demise”—a step many openly admit they skip. That is, the baby is born alive and then killed.

The Charlotte Lozier Institute documents that more than 60,000 abortions occur after 15 weeks every year in America, a developmental milestone at which science confirms the unborn child feels excruciating pain. The real science, not the Anthony Fauci version.

Pro-life defenders [aka decent human beings] sounded the alarm: this bill obliterates every remaining protection and licenses the execution of fully viable unborn children up to the very threshold of birth.

“This bill basically allows abortion at any time of the pregnancy and for any reason, so it is absolutely egregious,” said Michael King, president of the Massachusetts Family Institute. He noted that the measure would also “take this whole process of abortion outside of the hospital. So a doctor could do this perhaps anywhere they think is viable to do this kind of procedure and take out the safeguards of a hospital.” 

Massachusetts Citizens for Life President Myrna Maloney Flynn underscored that the legislation offers zero genuine help to women confronting real medical crises. “Women experiencing unimaginable, heart wrenching pregnancy complications absolutely deserve all the support they need, but that support is not what this bill provides,” Flynn remarked. “Instead, this bill ensures increased abortion industry profits and taxpayer-funded late-term procedures.” 

Flynn highlighted that the legislation allows a single doctor “to subjectively decide that any unborn infant can be killed in or outside of a hospital,” thus allowing them to play G_d for real. 

SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser mourned the news of the extreme law passing: “Massachusetts already allows abortion in the first 24 weeks, but that isn’t enough for Democrats whose party holds the position of no limits on abortion whatsoever. If Gov. Healey signs this bill into law, Massachusetts will join 10 states and Washington, D.C. with an all-trimester abortion policy where babies are killed after the point they can survive outside of the womb.” 

“These extreme laws that only 10% of Americans support are enabled by the ‘states-only’ philosophy on abortion. The GOP must abandon the failed ‘leave it to the states’ position and move the country toward a national protection for unborn children across this nation.”

Abortion advocates claim the change is necessary so women need not travel out of state because it should be easy to abort the soon-to-be-born so why should they have to schlep across states?

Responsible medical experts categorically reject the falsehood that intentionally ending a child’s life is ever required to save the mother. 

“It is never medically necessary to purposely end the life of a pre-born child in order to save her mother,” said Christina Francis, a board-certified OB-GYN and CEO of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists. In true emergencies, she explained, a physician must separate the mother from the baby when necessary, but that is not an abortion: “AAPLOG recommends referring to these interventions as ‘maternal-fetal separations’ given the clear difference of intent between those lifesaving treatments and induced abortion.”

Should Healey affix her signature, which the witch likely will, Massachusetts will become the 11th state plus the District of Columbia with literally no limits on abortion—joining a tiny, radical minority. 

The United States remains one of only eight nations on earth, alongside Communist China, that permits abortion at any stage of pregnancy, according to a 2024 study. Meanwhile, another 2024 analysis shows that 46 of 50 European countries impose limits after 15 weeks.

If an alien from another planet came here and saw what we do to our unborn for convenience, or form of birth control, or any other reason, they would be appalled.
