Brookline labor attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan picked up some endorsements in the race for Massachusetts attorney general recently.
The Democrat received endorsements from U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Cambridge), Boston mayor Michelle Wu, and former acting mayor of Boston Kim Janey over the weekend.
The federal Supreme Court's overturning Roe v. Wade sadly didn't eradicate abortion in Massachusetts.
The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court in 1981 invented the right to abortion under the Massachusetts Constitution. The court ruled that the Declaration of Rights in the state constitution "affords a greater degree of protection to a woman's right to decide whether or not to terminate a pregnancy by abortion than does the Federal Constitution …" (The case is called Moe v. Secretary of Administration and Finance.)
