Show Notes
Massachusetts sees a surge in abortion numbers, with medication abortions doubling to 49,450 procedures in 2023. The state becomes a hub for out-of-state patients, with groups like the Massachusetts Medication Abortion Access Project sending pills to nearly 11,000 people nationwide. Abortion rights supporters praise shield laws, while opponents raise safety concerns and accuse the state of aiding law-breaking in other states. Out-of-pocket payments increase, with two-thirds now self-paying and private funds covering 26% of the total.
