MS NOW political analyst Molly Jong-Fast and Fmr. assistant U.S. attorney Maya Wiley joined to discuss how doctors fearing penalties are hesitating to treat.
As Massachusetts just became the 10th state to remove all statutory limits on abortion — including in the third trimester. The governor signed it in front of dozens of cheering women. So what exactly did they just legalize? And what ACTUALLY happens during an abortion? In this episode of The Brief, host Shabbos Kestenbaum — who notes upfront that he invited abortion providers to appear and none would — sits down with Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America and Students for Life Action, to answer that question directly and without euphemism. Kristan opens with the response that stops the "late term abortion doesn't exist" argument cold: if it doesn't happen, why did Massachusetts feel the need to legalize it? And…

Abortion Barbarism Begins at Home Can abortion opponents turn the tide against Massachusetts-style radicalism? (Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images) Massachusetts’s Gov. Maura Healey on August 10 signed a new law giving doctors the prerogative to perform late-term abortions based on their own medical judgment in the Bay State, where previously abortion had been limited to the 24th week of pregnancy barring medical exceptions explicit in the statute. The usual suspects (shirts) hailed this measure as a blow for freedom, health, human empowerment, The Cause of Women, and all that jazz. The usual suspects (skins)…Open

Gov. Maura Healey signed a law making Massachusetts the tenth state to allow abortion up to birth, and a neonatologist says the prenatal tests used to justify late terminations are far less reliable than families are told. Dr. Robin Pierucci, a neonatologist and co-chair of the American College of Pediatricians' Pro-Life Council, told Fox News Digital that the new Massachusetts law raises grave medical and ethical questions, starting with the screening tools that drive many late-term abortion decisions. Prenatal imaging, she said, cannot reliably predict how severely a condition will affect a child after birth. Healey signed H. 5595, the Prioritizing Patient Access to Care Act, on Aug. 10, erasing the state's longstanding 24-week…Open

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey is facing fierce criticism after signing legislation expanding abortion access in the state, including procedures after 24 weeks under specified circumstances. On Saturday’s “The Count,” host Bill Spadea is joined by John Yep, president and CEO of Catholics for Catholics, and Father Chris Alar, provincial superior of the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception in the U.S. and Argentina, for a passionate discussion about abortion, faith and human dignity.

AI:Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey has signed legislation that significantly expands abortion access within the state, including allowing procedures after 24 weeks under specific circumstances. During an appearance on Newsmax's "The Count," Catholic leaders John Yep and Father Chris Alar condemned the move, arguing that human dignity is a divine mandate from God rather than a right granted by the government. The discussion highlighted the growing legal divide as Massachusetts continues to push boundaries against the precedents set by the Supreme Court and President Trump, further fueling the intense state-by-state battle over abortion policy and the sanctity of life.Open

Governor Maura Healey signed legislation removing Massachusetts' 24-week abortion limit and granting physicians sole discretion over late-term procedures, a move a board-certified OB-GYN says is medically unnecessary and dangerous for women. Dr. Christina Francis, a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist and CEO of the American Association of Pro-Life OBGYNs, told Fox News Digital that when a woman faces a life-threatening pregnancy complication beyond 24 weeks, the answer is delivery, not a multi-day abortion procedure. Francis said she can perform an emergency C-section in under five minutes. A late-term abortion, she said, can take days. Healey signed the bill, formally known as the Prioritizing Patients' Access to Care Act, on…Open
A year ago, Healey and her supporters celebrated different bills that protected animal life better than human life.
AI:Massachusetts has enacted extreme legislation that protects the welfare of small animals while stripping away all meaningful protections for the unborn, allowing abortion to proceed until the moment of birth. This blatant double standard follows a pattern in the state where lawmakers have prioritized animal rights over the sanctity of human life, effectively codifying a regime where a puppy is granted more legal standing than a developing child.Open
