Maura Healey Says She Wouldn’t Enforce A Federal Gestational Limit On Abortion

More than 63 million unborn children have been aborted since the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision in 1973 that legalized abortion nationwide. This past Tuesday was the second anniversary of the court’s Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe and sent abortion law back to legislatures, state courts, and state referendums.
