Governor0:07Maura Healey signed [music] the0:08prioritizing patient access to care act,0:10a law that will take effect in 90 days0:12and allow a physician to perform an0:14abortion based on professional judgment0:16without the prior legal [music]0:17penalties for later care. The law0:19replaces the threshold of about 24 weeks0:22that required specific [music] medical0:23exceptions after that point, presenting0:26the change as protecting maternal health0:28in cases of fatal fetal diagnosis and as0:30a state shield against rollback efforts0:32after Roe.
