Amherst Town Councilors Talk Abortion, ‘Gender-Affirming Care’ Protections

Amherst town councilors are considering extra protections for people seeking what they call "reproductive care" and "gender-affirming health care" in the town against hypothetical intrusions into Massachusetts from other states that have made such procedures illegal.

"I find similarity here with the Fugitive Slave Law," councilor Dorothy Pam said during a meeting earlier this week.
