'It's insanity': Massachusetts Democrats pass bill that would make it open season on viable babies
Democrats are pushing to scrap the remaining requirements regarding late-term abortions in the Bay State.
"It's insanity," James Lyons told Blaze News about the latest abortion bill making its way through the Massachusetts legislature. Lyons, a former state representative and past chairman of the Massachusetts Republican Party, added, "And it has to stop."
A long-standing line, one that most radical abortion legislation rarely crosses, is viability outside the womb. The rate of survival for a baby born during the 23rd week of pregnancy is 23%-27%, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. At 24 weeks the survival rate jumps dramatically to 42%-59%.
'The legislation promises that an already ominous shadow will grow even darker over the state.'
Democrats in the Massachusetts House overwhelmingly passed a bill in a 199-33 vote on Wednesday that would greatly expand abortion access past 24 weeks, effectively making it open season on viable human beings.
Advocates for the unborn have emphasized the extreme nature of this legislation and called for the state Senate to kill it outright.
