BOSTON — Labeling it as an "all-out attack on women's health care," Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey on Friday announced her office has yet again taken President Donald Trump to federal court, this time over his administration's decision to allow employers who oppose contraception on moral or religious grounds to withhold from providing such services to employees for free.
BOSTON — One of the state's leading conservative pro-family groups is crying foul over a section of a massive bill aimed at overhauling Massachusetts' criminal justice system, a provision that would dramatically alter sexual consent ages.
The current statute mandates prison sentences for those who "unlawfully have sexual intercourse or unnatural sexual intercourse, and abuses a child under 16 years of age." Individuals prosecuted under this statute currently face sentences of up to life in prison.
