Massachusetts Just Legalized Abortion Up to Birth. Here's What That Actually Means | The Brief

As Massachusetts just became the 10th state to remove all statutory limits on abortion — including in the third trimester. The governor signed it in front of dozens of cheering women. So what exactly did they just legalize?  And what ACTUALLY happens during an abortion?

In this episode of The Brief, host Shabbos Kestenbaum — who notes upfront that he invited abortion providers to appear and none would — sits down with Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America and Students for Life Action, to answer that question directly and without euphemism.

Kristan opens with the response that stops the "late term abortion doesn't exist" argument cold: if it doesn't happen, why did Massachusetts feel the need to legalize it? And why were women cheering for it? She then walks through exactly what late term abortion procedures involve — medically, scientifically, and without the language that usually obscures what's actually happening.
