Maura Healey Kills Born-Alive Protection Ballot Question

Members of the Massachusetts Republican Party wanted to reinstate a born-alive law that was on the books less than one year ago, but Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey says it can't go on the statewide ballot next year.

The Massachusetts Attorney General on Wednesday rejected a proposed ballot initiative that would guarantee emergency medical care to babies born alive after an attempted abortion, saying the language is too vague to go to the voters.
