Today, in response to the US Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v Wade, I signed an executive order to protect access to reproductive health care services in the Commonwealth.

Sen. Harriette Chandler calls this a "brilliant" amendment: "We have a right, we have a responsibility to safeguard the people who not only get their care in Massachusetts, but those who give that care in Massachusetts. We’ve always done that, and that’s what we’re doing again."

For anyone who might need some political joy this week, here are the #DrivingMAForward advocates at passage of the bill in the Senate just now.

"Roe v. Wade is law in Massachusetts. Women will still be able to get legal, safe abortions going into the future no matter what the Supreme Court says." -@Sen_Chandler
She also says that "Disappointment and upset is an understatement for how I feel."

Under two years after the #RoeAct passes, @Sen_Chandler reflects on that bill passing in late 2020: "We did not wait because we were afraid this very thing would happen, and it's happening. It appears to be happening....this is exactly what we were concerned about." #mapoli
For those of you in #mapoli who didn't follow/don't recall #ROEAct: This passed in the tail end of extended session 2020, overriding a Baker veto (his amendments to water it down had failed).

.@Sen_Chandler, @RepMcGovern, @MayorJoeOBrien, others reflect on the life and generosity of #Worcester mortician Peter Stefan.
Includes passages from Stefan's new book about his life, his decision to bury one of #Boston marathon bombers, and how he wants his tombstone to read.

It's nice to meet in person again, especially to celebrate the @Worcester_PL and its dedicated staff. Today's legislative breakfast was a chance lift up the work libraries do, to thank @Sen_Chandler for her public service, and to talk about ways to further support libraries. 📚

No one should have to choose between food, a roof over their head, their education, and access to menstrual products. Yet every day in Massachusetts, menstruators are forced to make exactly that choice!

@Sen_Chandler has done such incredible work for the people of Worcester and the Commonwealth, while also serving as a role model and a trailblazer for women and girls throughout the state. It has been an honor and a privilege to work with her, and she will be dearly missed.
