Massachusetts Just Legalized Abortion Throughout Pregnancy

Congratulations to the advocates & lawmakers who made it happen

Barber said she was inspired to introduce the legislation after hearing from patients who were forced to leave the state for abortion care. Kate Dineen, for example, had to travel to Maryland after learning her son suffered a massive stroke in utero. As devastating as her diagnosis was, it didn’t fit the narrow legal requirements for abortion in Massachusetts.

“I am profoundly grateful that our state leaders are righting this wrong once and for all,” Dineen said today.

I wish women didn’t have to relive their most traumatic moments to create legislative change, but I’m so awed by those willing to do so—all in the hope it might save another woman from similar suffering.

Something that’s not getting nearly enough attention: the legislation also clears the way for clinic-based care after 24 weeks—it struck down Massachusetts’ requirement that abortions later in pregnancy be performed in hospitals. That’s a big deal!

Thank you to the advocates who worked so hard to get this legislation to Gov. Healey’s desk—like the folks at Reproductive Equity Now, and the incredible slate of later abortion patient advocates who shared their stories with lawmakers. And thank you, Gov. Healey, for leading the way.

One last thing to remember: this new law is already getting lots of negative attention from conservatives and right-wing media. They want to make the legislation sound radical, and anyone who supports it sound like extremists.

So please remember—and pass the word along—that Americans don’t want government involvement in pregnancy, period. Over 80% of voters want abortion to be a decision between a woman and her doctor, not something that’s legislated. And increasingly, Americans support abortion protections throughout pregnancy.

So no, nothing about this legislation is radical. It’s exactly in line with what Americans want and what women deserve: full access to reproductive healthcare, without government interference.

Portland’s mall rink was this couple’s ‘happy place.’ They were its last skaters. — The Washington Post

One couple became synonymous with the ice rink at Portland's downtown mall. They skated their for the last time Saturday.

Someone asked me a while ago if I still had a photo of the worst sink I had ever seen while apartment hunting in Los Angeles. I assumed I deleted it so I didn't answer the ask and now it's gone, but as it turns out, yes, I do still have a photo of it.

Pinpanar9 is an unsung hero, leaving a simple and understated "good" on all manner of indie games. Every creator that I know who has an itch.io counts it as a mark of pride to have a "good" from pinpanar9.

I've got a couple, and every time I get one, I feel a little more like I've made it. That I'm a real designer.

And then I got this.

This is what I imagine an Ennie win feels like. It can't feel any better.
