Maura Healey’s Proposed Budget Would Give $2 Million To Private Abortion Funds

If Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey gets what she wants, Bay State taxpayers will pay several million dollars to fund abortions in fiscal year 2024.

Since a Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruling in 1981, public funding in Massachusetts has paid the full cost of abortion for women whose incomes are low enough to qualify for Medicaid; it's one of 16 states with publicly-funded elective abortions. That costs the state more than $2 million per year, as NewBostonPost has previously reported.
