BOSTON (WHDH) - The Massachusetts House of Representatives passed a bill removing existing limits on abortion.
If the bill passes in the state senate it would leave the decision to doctors whether to terminate a pregnancy past the 24-week mark.
Currently, pregnant people in Massachusetts can not get an abortion after 24 weeks unless there is a significant risk of death.
Several healthcare systems sent a letter to the House Speaker in support of the legislation saying it would remove arbitrary restrictions.
