The conservative Massachusetts Republican Assembly is challenging supporters of legal abortion to see Unplanned, a movie depicting former Planned Parenthood clinic director Abby Johnson, who became a pro-life activist after seeing a real-time ultrasound image of a fetus while assisting a doctor with an abortion.
The Massachusetts Legislature is considering a bill called the ROE Act that would remove almost all remaining restrictions on abortion in Massachusetts.
An alumni group called The Coalition for a Diverse Harvard has endorsed 18 candidates for two boards that influence policies of Harvard University in hopes of implementing overtly race-conscious admissions and an ethnic studies program, but organizers lament the lack of homosexual, bisexual, or transgender candidates among them.
"We note that our research does not show that any of the 18 candidates identify publicly as LGBTQIA+ or have substantial experience in addressing LGBTQIA+ issues," the coalition said in a written statement. "This is an issue that we and the Harvard Gender & Sexuality Caucus will raise with the Harvard Alumni Association."
