“This is murder”: Franklin Graham condemns Massachusetts abortion-up-to-birth law

Franklin Graham is condemning Massachusetts’ new abortion law, which removes the state’s previous 24-week gestational limit, calling the expansion of late-term abortion “murder.”

Graham, president and CEO of Samaritan’s Purse, responded after Gov. Maura Healey signed the legislation into law this week. In a social media post, he criticized the celebration surrounding the signing and wrote, “This sends a chill up my spine,” before declaring, “This is murder. It’s evil.”

Graham joins other national pro-life leaders in condemning the measure and warning about the consequences of expanding access to abortions later in pregnancy.
