BOSTON — Anti-abortion groups say they have cleared a major hurdle in efforts to repeal a recently approved expansion of the state’s late-term abortion law.
The group Massachusetts Citizens for Life announced Oct. 29 that organizers have collected more than 97,000 signatures to put a question on the 2028 ballot asking voters to repeal a law signed by Gov. Maura Healey in August that lifts restrictions on abortions performed after 24 weeks.
