Massachusetts Senate Overrides Veto, Passes Law Expanding Abortion Access
NPR ^ | 12/29/20 | Vanessa Romo

The Massachusetts state Senate joined the state House of Representatives Tuesday in passing legislation that enshrines abortion rights in state law and expands access to 16-year-olds. The move by the two chambers overrides Gov. Charlie Baker's veto of the measure last week.

The ROE Act, as it's called, will allow abortions after 24 weeks of pregnancy in cases with a fatal fetal anomaly and in instances when a physician deems it necessary "to preserve the patient's physical or mental health."

It also lowers the age at which individuals can seek an abortion without the consent of a parent or a judge from 18 to 16.

Sen. Harriette Chandler, who was behind one of the bills, said she was proud of the legislature's actions to secure "reproductive freedoms" for residents.

"Pregnant people who once faced near-insurmountable barriers accessing abortion care can now seize the right to control their own bodies," Chandler said in a tweet Tuesday.

“Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7)

God is the One who gives that little person a soul and spirit, and LIFE !

Additionally,this often really is the left consciously “sticking their finger in God’s Eye”.

They are stupid enough to believe they are gods...

The left thinks it’s fun and profitable to literally gruesomely torture babies to death. God can torture them in ways they currently cannot even grasp.

Sen. Harriette Chandler, when asked about the bill, replied, “There’s far too many colored babies being born. We need to stop the darkies from reproducing.”

You know, I really can’t believe that the Mass legislature voted to override this veto. That state is truly sick.

I can’t help but wonder that one of the reasons for the secession movement in the South was that the Confederates sensed that something was terribly wrong with the North and that they needed to separate themselves from the North for their own health and sanity.

I’m honestly surprised RINO Baker vetoed it. Bruce Rauner and other abortion loving RINO governors would have signed it in a New York minute.
