Massachusetts has few pro-life protections, as the state allows for the killing of preborn children through 24 weeks. But that isn\u2019t enough for one abortion business. In a recent interview, <\/span>Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts\u2019 new CEO, Dominique Lee, says that her \u201cnumber one priority” is “making abortion more accessible.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Lee told <\/span>WBUR<\/span><\/a> that one of her priorities is to end the parental notification law that is required of minors who want to kill their preborn children. Currently, the state requires a girl younger than 16 to receive parental consent beforehand.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe parental consent requirement was reduced from age 18 to 16, but even 16 is still too high,” Lee said during her interview. “There\u2019s no evidence that it\u2019s medically necessary. On average, it just delays care anywhere from five to 21 days. That\u2019s really critical when someone is deciding what options they have to choose, whether that\u2019s medication abortion through the pill method or in-clinic surgical abortion.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Lee also said she will be focusing on \u201creducing all of the unnecessary burdens and barriers\u201d that stand in the way of the killing of preborn human beings.<\/span><\/p>\n
