Dr. Susan Berry<\/a> – November 23, 2020<\/p>\n

The Massachusetts legislature has passed an amendment<\/a> to a budget bill that would allow<\/a> abortions after the 24th week of pregnancy, eliminate parental consent, and remove the requirement that abortionists must attempt to preserve the life of a baby who survives abortion.<\/p>\n

The state House passed<\/a> Amendment 759 by a vote of 108-49, while the state Senate approved it by a vote of 33-7. The amendment, as part of the fiscal year 2021 budget bill, is now on the desk of Gov. Charlie Baker (R) who, as Masslive.com reported<\/a>, was critical of Democrats pushing a late-term abortion proposal in a budget bill.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do share some of the unhappiness that was raised by a number of members of the Republican Party that putting policy in the budget was something that both leaders in the House and Senate said they would not do,\u201d Baker said Friday afternoon, according to the report. \u201cIt\u2019s pretty hard to argue this isn\u2019t a major policy initiative that is not in the budget.\u201d<\/p>\n

As late as last year, Baker disapproved<\/a> of measures to expand late-term abortion.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do not support late term abortions,\u201d the governor said. \u201cI support current law in Massachusetts. It\u2019s worked well for decades for women and families here in Massachusetts, and that\u2019s what we support.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Massachusetts Family Institute (MFI) explained<\/a> why Amendment 759 has been dubbed the \u201cInfanticide Act:\u201d<\/p>\n

The reason why this legislation has earned the moniker \u201cInfanticide Act\u201d is because it removes the requirement that an abortionist \u201cshall\u201d save the life of a baby born alive during a botched abortion and replaces it with the requirement to simply have life-saving equipment in the room with no obligation to use it.<\/em><\/p>\n
