| Massachusetts State Senator Introduces 'NASTY Women' Bill Ahead of Trump's Supreme Court Pick |
| 2018-07-08 |
| [Townhall] Liberals are petrified that President Donald J. Trump’s Supreme Court pick to replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy could wind up being the deciding vote needed to overturn Roe v. Wade and send the issue of abortion back to the states. One Massachusetts state senator recently introduced what she calls the ’NASTY Women Act' in an attempt to ensure that abortion remains legal and previously unenforced state laws do not block access for women seeking abortions. In January, Interim State Senate President Harriette Chandler (D-Worcester) introduced the Negating Archaic Statutes Targeting Young Women bill ‐aka ’NASTY Women’ ‐ to prevent Massachusetts laws such as an outright ban on abortion from being reinforced should the Supreme Court ruling Roe be overturned. The law would negate any previous Massachusetts law overturned by Roe v. Wade and subsequent High Court rulings. |

| #7 mug shot Jesus, Raj, you're such a pig. Leprechauns are people too, y'know. At least I think they are. Hmm. I'd better check. |

| #6 Whoa! She doesn't realize that if RvW is reversed then the states institute their own laws. Typical 'Dim' thinks that all comes down from the feds. No, no, sweetheart! |

| #4 Nice to see the dems deciding that states are the right place to decide this. Also ending federal funding for something that's personal. Up to the states to decide whether to blow taxpayer's money on subsidizing feckless behavior. |

| #3 Gee, the state legislatures making law rather than the federal judiciary. What a concept. |

| #2 And, as I look around, check out her mug shot at the top of her campaign page - the 'NASTY Women' bill is appropriately named. |

| #1 Given the lock that Dems have on both houses of the state legislature and the supine nature of our 'Republican' governor, Charlie Baker (A.K.A. 'Tall Deval'), this one's got a great chance of being enacted. |
