Governor Baker signs executive order for people out of state seeking reproductive health care access [View all]

BOSTON (WWLP) – Governor Charlie Baker signed an executive order to protect access to reproductive health care services in the Commonwealth in response to the US Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v Wade.

Several other states have imposed laws that would criminalize providing abortions and other reproductive health services, and this executive order would protect providers who perform these services for out of state individuals as well as individuals from out of state who seek services that are lawful in Massachusetts.

The order prohibits any Executive Department agencies from assisting another state's investigation into a person or entity for receiving or delivering reproductive health services that are legal in Massachusetts.

The order also protects Massachusetts providers who deliver reproductive health care services from losing their professional licenses or receiving other professional discipline based on potential out of state charges.
