Fall of Roe

State of Roe: Massachusetts


Listen Later

The subject of today's State of Roe has long been a pro-choice state, a position the Commonwealth reaffirmed almost as soon as the Dobbs draft was leaked earlier this year. In 1981, Massachusetts enshrined abortion into its state constitution and codified it into law with its own version of Roe v. Wade. The state also has a set of shield laws that aim to recover damages in case anyone from out of state tries to sue anyone who went to Massachusetts for an abortion.
