"It is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience."
The bill further extends legal protections to "abortion providers, out-of-state patients, and insurers" as well as access to contraceptives and resources to women in "grave circumstances" past their 24-week mark, according to a press statement released by Senate President Karen Spilka, D-Mass.
