  • In 1981, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court referred to abortion as a “fundamental right” and said that the Massachusetts Constitution afforded a greater degree of protection to that right than did the U.S. Constitution.

  • This ruling went further by determining that some Massachusetts women, depending on their financial status, had a constitutional right to have their abortions paid for by the taxpayer.

WHAT WE NEED TO DO
First Step:
Amend the State Constitution

 

The recently filed petition to amend the state constitution will begin the process of stopping taxpayer funded abortions.

​

This amendment would remove public funding of abortion from the courts and make it an issue for the legislature.

​

The amendment would lay the groundwork so that in the future the legislature could vote to stop that funding
