Catholic bishops across Massachusetts have issued a joint statement sharply rebuking Governor Maura Healey after she signed legislation further expanding and protecting abortion in the Commonwealth.
Despite identifying as a practicing Catholic, Governor Healey approved measures that broaden abortion access and shield providers from out-of-state legal accountability. In response, the Massachusetts Catholic Conference—representing the state’s dioceses—condemned the law, warning that it further entrenches a culture of death and strips protections from vulnerable preborn children.
The bishops emphasized that Catholic public officials cannot support abortion while claiming fidelity to Church teaching. Reaffirming that every human life possesses God-given dignity from the moment of conception, the bishops urged lawmakers to support mothers and families instead of facilitating the destruction of unborn lives.
There are many such glaring contradictions among politicians who profess Christian faith yet advance policies directly opposed to biblical morality and biological reality.
