73rd CONSECUTIVE OUTDOOR WEEKEND MASS - OCTOBER 10

Thank you to those who volunteered to collect the signatures needed for the Citizen initiative petition for the 2022 ballot—to protect babies born alive with proper medical care.  This proposed law would require that, notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, if a child is born alive, all reasonable steps in keeping with good medical practice shall be taken to preserve the life of that child. 

With the passage of the ROE Act last December, Massachusetts is now among the most pro-death states in the country having removed the existing state law mandating lifesaving medical care to be administered to a child who survives an abortion. The Massachusetts Newborn Protection Coalition is conducting a fall statewide signature campaign to place a question on the 2022 ballot ensuring life-saving medical care for babies born alive after a failed abortion and to best reflect existing law that ensures proper health care provided to all people.  Those people who have differing views on life even support this common sense measure as a basic fundamental right to life and basic healthcare.  Volunteers will be available before and after each of the Masses this weekend, October 16/17 to acquire signatures.

Thank you very much for helping to protect the most vulnerable among us.
