The Massachusetts Alliance to Stop Public Funding of Abortion was founded in 2015 with the goal of stopping taxpayer subsidized abortions in Massachusetts. The Alliance’s Chairman is Attorney Thomas M. Harvey.

 

        The Alliance will be filing its initiative petition with the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office by August 6, 2025. The petition, which will be signed by twelve registered voters, will seek to amend the constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by adding the sentence: “Nothing in this constitution requires the public funding of abortion.” 

 

         Once the Attorney General approves the petition, we will need to collect 75,574 certified signatures between early September and mid-November of 2025. To obtain 75,574 certified signatures, we will need to collect over 100,000 raw signatures between mid-September and mid-November of 2025. 

 

            If those signatures are obtained, the petition can then be advanced to be voted upon by a joint session of the state legislature. If ¼ of the legislature votes in favor of the petition, then it is advanced to the next elected legislature where it again must receive ¼ of the vote. Assuming a favorable vote is received, the matter would then be placed on the ballot to be voted upon in the November 2027 statewide election.
