<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/massachusetts">Governor Charlie Baker (R-MA)</a> recently signed legislation into law that requires all Bay State public universities and colleges to provide access to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/abortion">medication abortion</a>, either through their school&#8217;s health services or local resources.</p>
<p>Bill H.5090, known as &#8220;An Act Expanding Protections For Reproductive And Gender-Affirming Care,&#8221; was signed by Baker last Friday. The law <a href="https://malegislature.gov/Laws/SessionLaws/Acts/2022/Chapter127">requires</a> that all publicly-funded places of higher education submit a detailed &#8220;medication abortion readiness plan&#8221; to the department of public health annually beginning November 30, 2023. The plan should explain how the school will provide medication abortion access or arrange for off-campus medication abortions for its students. Massachusetts&#8217; public health department will then &#8220;provide a grant to each health center to pay for the cost of direct and indirect medication abortion readiness.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;What this legislation was intended to do was to normalize medication abortion as a part of health care and put it where students already are, which is on their campuses and in campus health centers,&#8221; Taylor St. Germain, communications director for Reproductive Equity Now, <a href="https://www.wgbh.org/news/local-news/2022/08/01/new-law-ensures-medication-abortion-access-for-public-university-students-in-mass">told</a> WGBH. &#8220;Students are already receiving a large chunk of their health care from these campus health centers a lot of the time.&#8221;</p>
<p>The law also codifies abortion — as well radical gender theory surgeries and other procedures — as a right recognized in the commonwealth’s constitution.</p>
<p>&#8220;Access to reproductive health care services and gender-affirming health care services is a right secured by the constitution and laws of the commonwealth,&#8221; the law reads. &#8220;Interference with this right, whether or not under the color of law, is against the public policy of the commonwealth.&#8221;</p>
<p>State Senator Lindsay Sabadosa helped craft the legislation and said she copied the idea from California.</p>
<p>“It was previously introduced and passed in the state of California,” Sabadosa <a href="https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2022/08/04/public-colleges-in-mass-are-now-required-by-law-to-provide-medication-abortion-access/">told</a> Boston.com. “The idea came because I was at a meeting with UMass Amherst students discussing health care and ways that we can expand access and one of the students said, ‘Hey, I’ve been following this thing that’s been going on in California and I think we should do it here.’”</p>
<p>Sabadosa also explained that — in her view — students might end up at crisis pregnancy centers without the law. The state senator explained that without access to these kinds of abortion services on campus, students might have to Google something and wind up being helped by pro-life activists.</p>
<p>&#8220;If students are getting online and searching for services, sometimes you end up at the right spot and sometimes you end up at a crisis pregnancy center,” Sabadosa explained. “CPCs tend to pop up around college campuses specifically, so avoiding those is a great byproduct of the legislation.”</p>
<p>Jason Lewis, a state senator who also supported the law, told the media that college students in particular need to be able to conveniently abort their baby, should they desire to do so.</p>
<p>“This is a population where access to abortion care is particularly important,” Lewis <a href="https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2022/08/04/public-colleges-in-mass-are-now-required-by-law-to-provide-medication-abortion-access/">told</a> the press. “This can be a major crisis for them and that just should not be the case here in Massachusetts.”</p>
