Massachusetts Legalizes Abortion Up Until KindergartenBabylonBee ^ | August 11, 2026 | BabylonBeePosted on by Retain MikeBOSTON, MA — Governor Maura Healey signed into law House Bill 5595 this morning, legalizing abortion in the state of Massachusetts up until a child enters Kindergarten. Massachusetts had previously restricted abortions after 24 weeks of pregnancy, when a baby typically can survive outside the mother's womb. Though the baby can survive on its own, Democrats felt that mothers still might want to kill their offspring anyway. At publishing time, Democrats had unveiled a new bill to legalize abortion until a child turns 18, called the "Save Women's Healthcare Act." So, with only one exception within their party these Democrat legislators established a line of defense for abortion that included those born alive despite attempted abortion.
