From LWV MA: November 17, 2020
SUPPORT ROE ACT PROVISIONS
CONTACT YOUR STATE SENATOR NOW

Last week, the Massachusetts House of Representatives passed key provisions of the ROE Act as an amendment to the House budget. (See LWVMA testimony on the ROE Act: https://lwvma.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/LWVMA-Testimony-H.3320-S.1209.pdf).

This week, the Senate considers ROE Act provisions as part of its budget in Amendment #180, which would codify safe and legal abortion in Massachusetts.
(See Amendment:https://malegislature.gov/Budget/FY2021/…).

Please call or email your State Senator now and request that they support Amendment #180 and commit to vote down any provisions that would prevent equitable abortion access in the Commonwealth.
