BOSTON – In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court issuing a 6-3 ruling to overturn Roe vs Wade, Massachusetts Senate President Karen Spilka issued a statement.
“Today is an extremely dark day for America, as we face what can only be called a ‘nightmare scenario’ for women and those who can get pregnant across this nation. It is important to stress that abortion remains and will remain legal in Massachusetts. This fundamental right to health care is here to stay in the Commonwealth, and I will fight every day to strengthen and protect it,” said Sen. Spilka.
“In its Fiscal Year 2023 budget, the Senate included language protecting access to reproductive health care, and today, Governor Baker issued an Executive Order which aligns very closely with this language. There is increased urgency to codify these provisions so that we can ensure the safety and continued protections of our residents. I remain grateful that the Commonwealth stands united to safeguard these protections,” said the Democrat from Ashland.
