This just popped into my e-mail, from our Governor. This is exactly what a great Governor does:

I’m writing today to let you know that abortion will remain safe, legal and accessible here in Massachusetts. We are protecting access to Mifepristone. Here’s how:

1) At my request, the University of Massachusetts Amherst agreed to purchase enough doses of mifepristone to ensure sufficient coverage in the state of Massachusetts for more than a year.

2) I’ve signed an Executive Order that confirms that medication abortion, including mifepristone, remains protected under existing state law.

3) We’ve also been in touch with other health care providers who have agreed to purchase additional quantities to make available for patients.

4) Our administration is dedicating $1 million to support providers contracted with Department of Public Health with paying for these doses.

What I want the people of Massachusetts to take away from this action is a simple message. Medication abortion is safe, effective and legal. The action we are taking right now ensures it stays that way.

That’s my Governor! A true progressive! TBH, she had me at point guard!
