THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 5, 2022 Page 17 SUPPORT | FROM PAGE 4 ductive health, including abortion. During deliberation in the House, I was proud to speak in support of this bill, emphasizing that abortion is not a partisan or political issue. It is a human rights issue.” “The Reproductive Health bill will ensure that anybody requiring health care for any reason, will be able to do so in Massachusetts. The Commonwealth has the best hospitals in the world, and it would be an injustice to prevent anyone from their treatment,” said Representative Paul Donato (D – Medford). “This bill also legally protects providers from being prosecuted for any service they provide.” “In the wake of the shocking Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v Wade, it is imperative for the Commonwealth to ensure that abortion providers are fully protected and patients, whether from Massachusetts or other states, have access to the care they need,” said Senator Jason Lewis. “I was proud to join with my House and Senate colleagues in passing this critical legislation to further protect and expand access to reproductive and gender-affi rming healthcare in Massachusetts. I’m especially pleased that the bill includes an amendment I fi led to expand access to medication abortion services on our public college and university campuses to help students overcome the signifi cant barriers to care that many face today.” H.4954, An Act expanding protections for reproductive and gender-affi rming care, has been passed by the House and Senate.
