Stop the new Infanticide Act - Amendment #759 to H5150: "Improved Access to Healthcare"

Baby Feet

The Infanticide Act is being debated on Beacon Hill TODAY! Yesterday, less than a week after the election, radical pro-abortionists announced that they would be inserting a new version of the ROE Act (which has been deemed the “Infanticide Act”) as an amendment to the state budget. Just like the original Infanticide Act, this new legislation still:

Allows underage girls to get abortions without their parents’ consent or even knowledge. (340 girls under the age of 18 had abortions in Massachusetts in 2019. Under this legislation their parents would no longer have the right to even know.)

Allows doctors to deny life-saving medical care to a clearly viable baby born alive during an abortion. This is known as “passive infanticide.”

Extends legal abortion all the way to 40 weeks for effectively any reason “to preserve the patient’s physical or mental health.”

In addition, this version now adds allowing abortions to be performed by physician assistants, nurse practitioners and nurse midwives!

Please CALL or EMAIL your state legislators TODAY! (For an in depth analysis of this legislation, click here.)

Please take 90 seconds to email your legislators and ask them to keep infanticide out of the budget and out of Massachusetts. We have pre-written a message for you below, so all you have to do is enter in your name and address and click submit.

Together, we can send a clear message to Beacon Hill that we DO NOT want infanticide in our Commonwealth!

Abortion activists are trying to sneak major provisions of the Infanticide Act into the budget this week!  You may be hearing that Amendment #759 to H5150 is not as extreme as the Roe Act, but that's simply not true.  This new legislation would still:

Allow underage girls to get abortions without their parents' consent or even knowledge.  340 girls under the age of 18 had abortions in Massachusetts in 2019.  Under this legislation their parents would no longer have the right to even know.  (You may be told by this amendment's sponsors that it 'only' lowers the age of abortion from 18 to 16 with no parental consent, BUT this is simply not true.  The first provision of the legislation, Section 22A, allows a minor to consent to medical care, including an abortion, if "she is pregnant or believes herself to be pregnant.")

Allow doctors to deny life-saving medical care to a clearly viable baby born alive during an abortion.  This is known as "passive infanticide."  (Supporters of this legislation have been arguing that it requires life-saving equipment to be present at the place of the abortion.  Although this is true, that is already required under current law.  What is new, is that this legislation REMOVES the requirement for the doctor to USE the life-saving equipment to "take all reasonable steps... to preserve the life and health of the aborted child.")

Extends legal abortion all the way to 40 weeks for effectively any reason "to preserve the patient's physical or mental health."

At a time when we are taking extreme and unprecedented measures to preserve the lives of our fellow Bay Staters, the legislature should not be trying to increase the number of unborn children put to death in our Commonwealth.  Keep infanticide out of the budget and out of Massachusetts!
