URGENT: Governor Healey blocks Chapter 188 suspension despite 113,000+ signatures
This is Massachusetts Citizens for Life's response to the Governor's latest move to prevent the suspension of the state's controversial late-term abortion law despite more than 113,000 certified signatures calling for its repeal.
"Governor Healey's preamble reflects an utter disregard for the men and women she was elected to represent. In a matter of a few weeks, more than 113,000 of her constituents went out of their way to oppose a highly controversial, deeply consequential, law that blindsided legislators and voters alike. Healey ignored their questions and concerns on August 10, and she has once again prevented any dialogue. She has not sufficiently explained the 'emergency' that warrants her undemocratic rejection of the people's will, because such an emergency does not exist, only weakness on her part. Healey clearly demonstrates today how beholden she really is to the Massachusetts abortion lobby."

49,450 lives lost. Countless hearts broken.
Massachusetts Citizens for Life concluded the 2026 Truth About Choice memorial exhibition at the Massachusetts State House, bringing its display of 49,450 fetal models to the seat of state government.
Each model represented a life lost to abortion in Massachusetts in a single year. But these models tell only part of the story. They cannot represent the heartbreak of parents, the grief that may follow an abortion, or the women who felt pressured or coerced into making that decision.
Research from the @LozierInstitute found that nearly 70% of women who had abortions reported feeling pressured or coerced, often by partners or family members.
From UMass Amherst to Hopkinton, Agawam, and finally the State House, Truth About Choice brought this reality to communities across Massachusetts throughout 2026.
Thank you to every volunteer, host, partner, and supporter who helped make this year's exhibition possible.
Every life matters. Every story matters. And every woman deserves support, not pressure or coercion.
