T Friday, August 21, 2026 Revere School Committee begins search for next superintendent Committee plans to weigh an outside search fi rm, gather community input and potentially advertise the superintendent position around Thanksgiving, while also hearing updates on early literacy efforts, a Beachmont School mural project and handbook revisions. By Anthony Boyd he Revere School Committee began its search for the district’s next superintendent during its Aug. 18 meeting, with members planning to consider an outside search fi rm, gather input from the school community and potentially advertise the position around Thanksgiving. The search will be led by an ad hoc committee that plans to hold its fi rst meeting in NEXT SUPERINTENDENT | SEE Page 2
Page 2 NEXT SUPERINTENDENT | FROM Page 1 September. Members will discuss whether to hire a search fi rm and how to build a broader search committee that could include teachers, unions, parents, families, students and other community members. Vice Chair Jacqueline Monteroso said the ad hoc committee will provide regular updates to the full School Committee as the process moves forward. “Our intended timeline is, in this fi rst meeting, we want to discuss the composition of a larger search committee, so how we’re going to bring in the community, whether it’s unions, parents, families, other community members, students,” Monteroso said. The committee hopes to make a recommendation in September on whether to hire a search fi rm. If a fi rm is selected, members hope to have it in place by October and begin advertising the position around Thanksgiving, with candidate profi les potentially arriving after the winter break. Mayor Patrick Keefe urged the committee to take its time determining what it wants from the next superintendent while “WE’RE STILL HERE!” Since 1947 MALDEN AUTO BODY Book online: Maldenauto.com 49 Robin St., Everett, MA 617-389-3030 * Maldenab@yahoo.com Over 79 years of exceptional service! Massone Family Owned & Operated THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 2026 avoiding unnecessary delays. “We want to make sure that we get it out there as quickly as possible, without being too rushed,” Keefe said. Keefe also recommended using an outside fi rm to help guide the process and encouraged all School Committee members to think long and carefully about the qualities and priorities they want in the district’s next leader. The search comes as current Superintendent Dr. Dianne Kelly prepares to leave the position. Kelly told the committee that identifying a successor by February or March would give the district valuable time for a transition before July 1, 2027. “This is a long and arduous process,” Kelly said. “I would encourage you to expedite as quickly as you can.” Kelly said a transition period could allow her to help the incoming superintendent understand the district’s operations, priorities and ongoing work before she leaves. The superintendent search was one of several major issues discussed during the Aug. 18 meeting, which also included a presentation on early literacy and an update on plans for a new mural at Beachmont School. Briana Tsoupas, Revere’s preK through third grade early literacy director and Title I director, presented an overview of the district’s eff orts to strengthen reading instruction and identify students who need additional support. Tsoupas said the district is working to connect classroom instruction, screening, intervention and progress monitoring so students can receive help earlier and educators can determine whether that support is eff ective. The district uses Collaborative Classroom as its core literacy curriculum and is continuing professional development focused on foundational skills, small-group instruction and consistent implementation across classrooms. Tsoupas also announced that Revere had been awarded 132 seats through Ignite Reading for first-grade students. The one-on-one tutoring program focuses on foundational reading skills and marks the district’s fi fth year partnering with Ignite. Committee members asked for additional data on the program, including how many students are reading at grade level and how many students receiving Tier 2 or more intensive intervention are making enough progress to eventually exit those supports. “Our focus has really been on creating a stronger, more connected system from what happens in the classroom every day to how we identify and support students who need something more,” Tsoupas said. The district is also pursuing a grant through the Nellie Mae Education Foundation with community partners to expand early literacy opportunities for children and families before students enter kindergarten. The committee later heard about a $4,000 Mass Cultural Council grant awarded to Beachmont School for a mural near the school’s entrance on Everard Street. Principal Chris Friesen and school psychologist Amanda Lockerbie said the mural, being developed with Boston-based artist Alex Cook, is expected to feature the words “You are loved” in multiple languages spoken by Beachmont families, including Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic, with Italian also being considered. Students could participate in the project through art classes, helping paint portions of the mural. The project is tentatively scheduled to begin in October. Ward 4 School Committee member Stephen Damiano Jr. supported the project but asked whether the mural could be expanded to cover additional sections of the school’s facade. School offi cials agreed to investigate the additional cost and report back to the committee at a later meeting. The committee also approved revisions to its student and employee handbooks. Changes included adding language from the district’s recently approved meal modifi cation policy concerning cultural, religious and ethnic food preferences. A correction was also made to the employee handbook’s progressive discipline section. The meeting began with a moment of silence for Yusuf Aguigad, a 10-year-old A.C. Whelan Elementary School student who recently died following an illness. Aguigad, who would have entered fi fth grade this fall, had previously been recognized at the school for demonstrating honesty and integrity. Kelly said the district would make grief counseling and other support services available to students as the new school year begins. With the superintendent search now underway, the School Committee is expected to return to the issue in September, when members will begin shaping the search process and determining how the broader Revere community will help defi ne the district’s next chapter.

Jeffrey Rosario Turco Announces Re-Election Bid D ear Friends: I am seeking re-election to be your State Representative for the 19th Suff olk District representing all of Winthrop and nearly half of the City of Revere, so that I can continue to fi ght for progress and solutions that serve you. As a lifelong resident of ReJeff rey Rosario Turco State Representative vere (33 years) and Winthrop (22 years), I have been shaped by these two great communities. These communities taught me the value of faith, family, hard work and the belief in the American dream. My neighbors growing up were largely police officers, fi re fi ghters, and union: carpenters, plumbers and electricians. All hard-working men and women who were proud to be part of building a better community and country for themselves, their children and their grandchildren. I still believe in our communities and in the American dream. It is for this reason that my wife, Melissa, and I chose to settle here and to raise our six children (Rosario, Mary, Joseph, Dominic, Grace and Matteo) here.

Page 4 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 2026 TURCO ANNOUNCMENT | FROM Page 3 ish council member at St. Michael the Archangel Church, former Winthrop Town Council President, a three-time elected member of the Democrat State Committee, and a member of the Immaculate Conception Parish School Board, I have worked to give back to two communities that have given me and my family so much. Giving back is, of course, a biblical command: “[t] o those whom much is given, much is expected.” During my 1st race for State Representative, I promised to focus on: 1. addressing the scourge of drugs and addiction, 2. the need for improved vocational school opportunities for our children, 3. always supporting our public safety community, and 4. to always be a voice for the forgotten working class that continues to pay the bills in this Commonwealth. I am pleased to take account of the progress made to date. It is worth noting, nothing gets done on Beacon Hill without many hands, many voices and lots of compromise and so all of my colleagues deserve credit for working to put people before politics in working to fi nd solutions such as: 1. Passing the most comprehensive substance use, addiction treatment reform in a generation; giving hope to more families and the affl icted for the fi rst time in a generation. 2. Opening the new Northeast Regional Vocational School this fall at 150% of its previous capacity, increasing opportunities for tomorrow’s union carpenters, electricians, plumbers, health care workers and other trade careers. 3. Improving the working conditions for members of our public safety community including: removal of dangerous PFAS from fi re safety equipment, cost free cancer screening for fi refi ghters, retirement reform for those forced out of work because of crimes of violence, amongst many others. For these reasons, every major public safety union, fi re and police, have endorsed my re-election. I am honored to have their support and to always back them. 4. Decreasing the cost of living by working with my colleagues and Governor Healey to enact a $1.2 billion dollar tax cut, the largest in the history of the Commonwealth. In addition, we made school breakfast and lunch free for every child in the Commonwealth because children can’t learn if they are hungry and worker families need financial relief. We have also invested unprecedented money in both our public schools and our public transit while demanding better results and improved service. All of these efforts are focused on improved aff ordability and quality of life for our neighbors. There is so much more to celebrate and so much more to work on. As elected offi cials, we have an obligation to lead and to demonstrate that despite the national political scene, we in Massachusetts can work through diff erences while we focus on what is best for our constituents. For this reason, I am honored to have the endorsement of Governor Healey. Despite our disagreements, we have worked together on her tax cut bill, on a pending energy rate relief bill, on our mutual support of our public safety community, on reform of our health care delivery system and on demanding consistent improvements in our public education system. For the past two years, I have been privileged to serve as the House Vice Chairman of the Joint Committee on Veteran and Federal Aff airs and as a member of the Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy. These committee assignments allow me the opportunity to make sure our veterans are always top of mind in all policy making decisions and to be a voice for the working class in the fi ght against crushingly high utility bills. This work continues every day. Finally, to the nearly 3,500 constituents who have contacted my offi ce over the past fi ve and a half years for assistance, thank you for reaching out and for the opportunity to assist you in your time of need. In the end, 90% of this job is helping people and you have given me that great honor. As the primary season nears its fi nish, I ask for your continued trust, confi dence and your VOTE in the September 1, 2026 Democrat primary. I will continue to fi ght for you every day. If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at: jrturco@aol. com or call my cell phone at 508 405 8843. Be well, Jeff rey Rosario Turco State Representative ~ OP-ED ~ Mayor Patrick Keefe supports Re-Election of State Representative Jeffrey Turco A s Mayor, the greater good the City of Revere and its constituents is my top priority, and it is especially important to have reliable colleagues who help me achieve this. Therefore, it is my privilege to ask for your support of my colleague and friend, Representative Jeffrey Turco in his re-election for the 19th Suff olk District. The City of Revere is a team, and Rep. Turco has steadily remained part of my team, fi ghting for what is best for our city, our home. Throughout his service, Rep. Turco has been greatly successful in bringing home state funds for the City of Revere. For example, he has helped us move forward with one of Revere’s largest recent undertakings, the redevelopment of the McKinley School, through a $100,000 earmark. Because of this funding, our new state of the art MNRECC 911 Call Center and Early Childhood Education Center are expected to be completed in the Fall of 2027. Additionally, Rep. Turco has advocated for youth employment in Revere through our YouthWorks Department, by helping us fund the opportunity for hundreds of teens and young adults to gain early work experience at Revere city departments and beyond. His work isn’t stopping there, either. Rep. Turco plays an essential role in fi ghting for Massport to properly compensate Revere as a municipality directly impacted by Logan Airport traffi c. We all know that when working with local government, communication is key. I am confi dent that Rep. Turco shares my prominent value in accessibility to his offi ce as a resource for constituents and colleagues alike. His honesty, kindness and true care in service are clear factors that have earned him local reputability and the support of every elected official in Revere. I kindly ask Revere to continue to support Representative Jeffrey Turco with your vote on September 1. Your vote isn’t just for him, but for our team, our livelihood, and the positive progress we can make in Revere.

Page 8 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 2026 Revere License Commission approves new businesses, licenses at Aug. 19 meeting By Anthony Boyd T he Revere License Commission approved a series of new and amended business licenses during its Aug. 19 meeting, including a new halal food operation on Squire Road, a package-store license for Joe’s QuickMarts and the renewal of Atlantic Auto Body’s Class II automobile license. The meeting opened with a notice that only two commissioners were present. The commission said that if members could not reach an agreement on a disputed matter, the issue would have to be continued until a meeting with three commissioners. Among the fi rst applications considered was a one-day malt, wine, common victualler and entertainment license for a fundraising concert at the Father Brennan Parish Center, 137 Winter St. The event is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 19, and is expected to draw approximately 300 people. Event manager Jesus Torres told commissioners the concert would be held as a fundraiser for the community. His son, Jonathan Amado, who Torres said is a licensed bartender and TIPs certifi ed, will serve alcohol. Fire Department Captain Mark Wolfgang asked about the event’s seating arrangements, whether theatrical smoke or fog would be used and whether organizers had a drawing showing the location of tables and exits. Torres said the event would have about 10 tables and indicated organizers could contact the police department about a detail. - Legal Notice - COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT ORDER FOR SERVICE BY PUBLICATION AND MAILING Plaintiff ( MICHELLE O’HARA AND RICHARD O’HARA Defendant(s) To the above-named Defendant(s): RICHARD O’HARA , seeking a . .

Torres explained that seating would be limited, with tables placed around the facility. The commission ultimately approved the application as written. The commission next approved a one-day common victualler and entertainment license for Darts Army’s annual cornhole tournament at Griswold Park on Sept. 12, with a rain date of Sept. 13. The fundraiser benefi ts the Jimmy Fund and is expected to attract about 100 people. Event manager Renee Griffi n said the fundraiser has been running for a decade and that the upcoming event will be its seventh at Griswold Park. “This is also a fundraiser, 10 years strong,” Griffi n said. She said the event would feature a raffl e, cornhole tournament and food and alcohol sales. Griffi n said Bentwater, the alcohol vendor, had served the event for fi ve consecutive years “without incident.” Commissioners noted that the event had a submitted layout showing the designated consumption area. Several applications involving changes to existing businesses were also approved. Summit Hotel, doing business as Hampton Inn Revere at 230 Lee Burbank Highway, received approval for a change of manager from Camille Karim to Cesar Sepeda. An attorney representing the applicant said Sepeda is a Massachusetts resident and U.S. citizen with hospitality experience and familiarity with rules governing the sale and service of alcohol. Commissioners were told the hotel’s operations would otherwise remain the same. The commission also discussed the hotel’s parking operation, which was identifi ed as a third-party Park and Fly operation run by Select Parking. Revere Lodge 1171 of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks at 198 Shirley Ave. received approval for changes to its offi cers and directors, including a newly elected president and vice president. The applicant told commissioners the - LEGAL NOTICE - Estate of: Also known as: Date of Death: To all persons interested in the above captioned estate, by Petition of Petitioner of of has been informally appointed as the Personal Representative of the estate to serve on the bond. secretary would remain in place while other leadership positions and directors changed. Atheina Nails and Beauty LLC, 121 Broadway, received approval for a wine and malt cordial general on-premises license to operate as an accessory to its nail salon. The business requested seating for 13 customers, with hours from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday. During the hearing, the applicant asked for assistance in Spanish. A Spanish-speaking person helped with the discussion, and commissioners confi rmed that the employees had completed TIPs certifi cation before approving the application. T01 Margarita Mexican Restaurant at 85 American Legion Highway was also approved for a change of manager. Jesus Camilo told commissioners he had worked for the company for 11 years and was being transferred to the Revere location. “I’m currently the general manager of Margaritas in Revere,” Camilo said. He confi rmed that he would become the manager and that the restaurant’s operations would otherwise remain unchanged. At 325 Bennett Highway, the commission approved the transfer of a common victualler’s license to Sha’s Halal Food. Manager Tjas Patel said the restaurant will be the second location of a franchise based in Manhattan. “This is our second location,” Patel said, explaining that the restaurant would focus primarily on takeout while still off ering dining service. The transfer keeps the existing 36 seats and hours of operation, 11 a.m. to midnight Monday through Sunday. Joe’s QuickMarts at 41 Lee Burbank Highway also received approval for a malt and wine package-store license. Manager Juan Rivera told commissioners he was seeking permission to sell alcohol at the location. Rivera said he had two years of experience working at a liquor store and is TIPs certifi ed. The approved hours are 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday and 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Saturday. LICENSE | SEE Page 13

There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week. MEDAL OF FIDELITY LICENSE PLATE (H 5624) House 157-0 approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would authorize the creation of a license plate honoring Medal of Fidelity recipients and their families. This medal is provided to the next of kin of a Massachusetts service member or veteran whose death was a result of service-connected post-traumatic stress disorder; a service-connected traumatic brain injury; or a service-connected disease or injury related to exposure to harmful toxins, herbicides, agents or materials, where the exposure occurred while serving in the U.S. armed forces (active duty or reserves), or while serving in the Massachusetts National Guard. The new license plate created under this bill would be made available by the Registry of Motor Vehicles free of charge to recipients of the Medal of Fidelity. “The Medal of Fidelity was established four years ago to honor our state’s fallen veterans and their surviving family members,” said sponsor Rep.

Jeff Turco Yes EXPAND THE “MOVE OVER” LAW (H 5622) House 154-0, approved a bill that would expand a current law that requires motorists to slow down and make every effort to change lanes if they are approaching a stationary emergency, maintenance or recovery vehicle with flashing lights on a highway. The bill would expand the law to require motorists to do the same when approaching a stationary utility truck— defi ned as a vehicle being used to install, maintain, repair, operate or restore communications service, electric or gas distribution or transmission service in an emergency. The Senate has approved a different version of the measure and the House version now goes to the Senate for consideration. Rep. Jim Arciero (D-Westford), House chair of the Committee on Transportation, said the that the bill is a sensible change to an important law and updates the “move over” law to extend its protections to utility vehicles and workers at the roadside. He noted that the measure, which got overwhelming support in the Transportation Committee, also increases penalties for repeat offenses and requires an education component for motorists who commit multiple off enses.

An avid fi sherman, he loved the quiet of the lake in any season, whether a warm summer afternoon or a cold winter morning. He had a real appetite for adventure — paintball, ATV rides, kayaking, motorcycles, and boating all brought him joy. A devoted Patriots fan, he loved his team nearly as much as he loved animals and the satisfaction of working on his house. Craig is lovingly survived by his beloved wife, Jamie McDonough; his daughter, Ashley; his son, John, and John’s longtime partner, Kiara; his siblings, Michelle and Ginette; and his cherished grandchildren, Aubrey, Caleb, and Aubrey Rose. He was also eagerly awaiting the arrival of his granddaughter, Bella Rae, expected in just a few weeks — a joy his family will carry forward in his memory. Craig is also survived by many loving that the Registry of Motor Vehicles would be required to produce a public service campaign on the move over law. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes Rep. Jeff Turco Yes ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL BANNING SCHOOL AND PUBLIC LIBRARY BOOKS AND MATERIALS (H 5489) — Gov. Healey signed into law a bill that supporters said would protect people’s access to library materials and guard against politically motivated book bans in Bay State school libraries and public libraries. The bill requires local policies to be developed using nationally recognized library standards and lays out a process around challenges to library materials. The measure also protects librarians and school library professionals from retaliation. Provisions include ensuring that students have free and open access to library books and other school library materials by establishing clear standards for library teachers and other employees to follow as they select school library materials; requiring that school library materials be age-appropriate, serve an educational purpose aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family members.

Healey. “We have always believed that our communities are stronger when people, especially young people, have access to knowledge and a free exchange of ideas.

Answers Robotic Pets Can Provide Comfort to Elderly Seniors Dear Savvy Senior, My mother, who has dementia, recently moved into an assisted living facility that doesn’t allow pets. I’m thinking about getting her a robotic pet to cheer her up. Are they worth it, and if so, which one do you recommend? --Inquiring Daughter Dear Inquiring, It’s completely natural to want to bring a little furry joy into your mom’s life. Moving into a new home without her pets can be tough, and sometimes even a small companion can make a big difference. Robotic pets — lifelike, interactive companions — can brighten the days of seniors with dementia in ways you might not expect. They’re more than just cute gadgets; they off er comfort, companionship, and a sense of purpose, along with plenty of smiles and fun. Before you pick one, here’s what you should know. Why pets matter Pets aren’t just cute — they’re family. They bring happiness, companionship, and even a gentle sense of routine. Studies have shown that pets can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, encourage light activity, and improve overall wellbeing. They can also provide a sense of connection, which can be especially grounding for seniors living with cognitive changes. Unfortunately, many seniors, like your mom, have to give up pets when they move into care facilities or can no longer care for them on their own. That’s where robotic pets can step in. Many studies have shown that robotic companion animals can improve quality of life by off ering comfort, interaction, and a sense of companionship. Still, it’s important to remember that not all seniors connect with robotic pets. Some may ignore them completely, while others enjoy holding them or respond positively to a lifelike companion that reacts and even “talks back.” Best options If you’re looking for a hightech option, Jennie, a new Labrador puppy from Tombot (tombot.com), is the most impressive option available. Soft, cuddly, and very lifelike, she reacts to touch and voice, moves naturally, and even barks on command. A smartphone app lets you name her, customize her behavior, and track interactions. She runs on a rechargeable battery and is expected to cost around $1,500, with fi - nancing available. Jennie is currently on back order, with new units expected this summer or fall, so interested buyers may need to join a waitlist. If that’s more than you want to spend, Joy for All Companion Pets (joyforall.com) are a wonderful alternative. These cats and dogs cost $160 or $180 and respond to touch with purring or barking. They can move their heads, lift their paws, and open and close their eyes. With soft, brushable fur and a gentle “heartbeat,” they feel surprisingly real. They also give seniors a comforting routine, like stroking or “feeding” their pet, which can be both calming and engaging. For seniors who use a walker, the Walker Squawker bird ($65), also available from Joy for All, attaches to the device and chirps when the walker stops moving. It responds to touch and sound, off ering a playful companion and gentle encouragement to stay active. Small touches like this can make a big diff erence in lifting spirits and keeping seniors engaged. Robotic pets aren’t a replacement for real animals, but they can bring companionship, comfort, and joy to seniors who can no longer have a furry friend. They are especially well-suited for seniors with dementia, providing interaction, routine, and a sense of connection. Whether you choose a sophisticated option like Jennie or a more affordable Joy for All pet, these interactive companions can turn moments of loneliness into smiles, connection, and a little extra joy every day.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 2026 Page 11 BHRC | FROM Page 9 read, to learn, to ask diffi cult questions and to encounter ideas we might agree or disagree with. It’s also about protecting our teachers and librarians and allowing them to do their jobs. At a time when President Trump is defunding education and trying to censor any ideas he doesn’t agree with, it is more important than ever that states step up to lead. That’s what we’re doing here in Massachusetts.” “Books open doors for students to explore new ideas, deepen their understanding of the world and develop the critical thinking skills they need to succeed,” said Education Secretary Steve Zrike. “Our schools should encourage that curiosity and give students access to books that challenge them, inspire them and help them grow as learners. This law affi rms that commitment and supports the educators and librarians who make those opportunities possible every day.” “Politically motivated book challenges are dangerous acts of censorship that harm us all,” said Carol Rose, Executive Director of the ACLU of Massachusetts. “This new law builds a fi rewall against such cynical acts, protecting students’ freedom to read and learn and respecting the expertise of professional educators and librarians. All students should have access to a diverse collection of materials, refl ecting a wide range of experiences, identities and challenges. This promotes free expression and helps our society build tolerance, empathy and understanding.” Rep. John Gaskey (R-Carver) was the only legislator to vote against the measure when it was approved by the House and Senate. “[The bill] makes it more difficult for school committees to challenge book selections made by librarians, especially regarding LGBT+ type books that are usually so explicit that they cannot be read in public meetings or even on YouTube without being age restricted,” Gaskey said. “This is not about banning books as they are all available in a multitude of locations, especially the public library. This is about protecting youth from explicit material, regardless of the topic.” ABORTION (H 5595) — Gov. Healey signed into law legislation that would loosen restrictions on abortions that can be performed after 24 weeks of gestation. The bill removes existing requirements that limit abortions at 24 weeks of pregnancy or later to four specifi c medical circumstances, and instead allows licensed physicians and providers to rely on their best medical judgment when caring for patients. Supporters said that under current law, the four specifi c categories do not account for the full spectrum of medical conditions encountered by women and their doctors: protecting the patient’s life or physical or mental health, or cases involving a lethal fetal anomaly or a grave fetal diagnosis. “I’ve heard heartbreaking stories from women and families who were preparing to welcome a healthy baby into their family, only to receive devastating news later in their pregnancy,” said Gov, Healey. “Instead of being able to rely on the doctors they knew and trusted at home, they were forced to travel hundreds of miles and pay out of their pockets while navigating unimaginable grief. That should never happen in Massachusetts. This law continues our eff orts to have the strongest abortion protections in the country because in Massachusetts, we believe health care decisions should be made between women and their doctors.” “As the Trump Administration ramps up attacks on reproductive care and abortion access nationwide, Massachusetts must continue closing gaps in care so that women have full autonomy over the care they need, when and where they need it,” said Sen. Robyn Kennedy (D-Worcester), Senate sponsor of the bill. “The Prioritizing Patient Access to Care Act ensures Massachusetts patients do not have to leave the commonwealth to get the care they need, and empowers physicians to support their patients throughout their pregnancies. Thank you to all the advocates who have brought this bill to fruition, especially the women who have shared their experiences.” “Throughout relentless attacks on reproductive rights, Massachusetts has prioritized the fundamental rights and health care of its residents,” said Rep. Christine Barber (D-Somerville), House sponsor of the bill. “This law ensures access to care by empowering physicians to use their professional judgment to make decisions in the best interest of their patients. Pregnancy is complex, and I am grateful the House advanced this bill to eliminate barriers and guarantee medical expertise as the standard of care. It comes down to a simple, but powerful conviction: decisions about abortion care must remain between a patient and their provider. No one else. Today, we show our commitment to protecting the rights of our residents of the commonwealth.” Opponents said the legislation allows elective abortions up to birth based solely on a physician’s professional judgment. They said it eliminates the current requirement that complex late-term abortions be performed in a hospital setting, thus allowing abortions on healthy mothers and healthy infants at a stage when unborn children can feel pain and may be able to survive outside the womb. Myrna Maloney Flynn, president of Massachusetts Citizens for Life said, “Legalizing elective abortion up to birth on healthy moms and healthy, pain-capable infants is not about a doctor-patient relationship but rather abortionists normalizing infant death and pressuring vulnerable women to permit their unborn children to die in heinous acts of violence, which are among the most severe human rights assaults allowed in only a few places, among them China and North Korea.” Flynn continued, “The fi ght for life in Massachusetts has been built over decades by advocates, supporters, volunteers and organizations willing to stand for life even when the political environment was diffi cult. The signing of this law does not erase that work. Instead, it gives us a new opportunity to build on it. We can use this national exposure to educate new audiences about abortion later in pregnancy and about the options available to women instead of abortion. We can earn hearts and minds with the truth. Abortion is a choice, and we can make that choice unthinkable. That’s our main eff ort now.” “It should shock the conscience that tens of thousands of unborn Americans are barbarically dismembered limb by limb and torn apart every single year,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the pro-life group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America. “Sadly, that number will only increase with Gov. Healey’s approval of the Abortion Up Until Birth Bill. The GOP must abandon the ‘leave it to the states’ position — a stance that permits egregious late-term abortion laws like this one — and advance national protections for unborn children. Without a minimum national standard, the United States remains one of only eight countries worldwide that allows abortion at any point in pregnancy. We must do all we can to turn the page on America’s ugly chapter of late-term abortion.” “Every legislator who voted for this bill needs to be held accountable — and that starts with people like you taking action, running for offi ce or volunteering,” said the Massachusetts Family Action on its website. “The coming fall elections are a critical moment for the future of Massachusetts.” The World’s First Hearing Aids With Touchscreen Controls.
