Massachusetts taxpayers have been funding abortions for decades due to a 1981 court decision. The Massachusetts Alliance to Stop Public Funding of Abortion is leading a historic effort to change that.
Through a statewide initiative petition, the Alliance aims to amend the state constitution to make clear that public funding of abortion is not required. You can be part of this effort from the very beginning.
