Massachusetts Won’t Let You Sell Puppies Under 8 Weeks But Lets You Abort Babies Until Birth

A year ago, Healey and her supporters celebrated different bills that protected animal life better than human life.
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey approved a law that allows killing unborn babies up to the point of birth with nearly no oversight Monday. A plethora of “doctors” in white lab coats surrounded Healey as she inked the bill authorizing unwanted children to be pulled apart by forceps or poisoned.
One licensed health care professional, Lynn M. Yee, who serves with the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, praised the new law, saying that it “prioritiz[ed] patient access to care,” while ignoring the human patient inside a woman’s body.
A year ago, Healey and her supporters celebrated different bills that protected animal life better than human life.
With the support of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MSPCA), Healey approved one bill titled “An Act Providing For the Humane Protection of Animals.” It prohibited permanently removing a puppy or kitten less than eight weeks of age from its mother and various unregulated sales of animals. The MSPCA commented at the time that the bill was necessary to prevent “health problems” in young animals.
The second bill, titled “An Act Prohibiting Inhumane Feline Declawing,” made it illegal to declaw a cat for any reason besides “rare situations such as cancer in the nail bed or other conditions that jeopardize the cat’s health.” Fines ranged from $1,000 for a first offense to more than $2,000 for repeat offenses. The MSPCA described the “inhumane” procedure as “akin to amputating a person’s fingertips at the first knuckle.” The surgery can cause “serious pain” or “complications,” it said.
The state of Massachusetts currently celebrates removing a human child from its mother far before eight weeks and condones causing unborn children excruciating pain that ends in death. Furthermore, Massachusetts’ gestational surrogacy law allows newborns to be taken from their gestational mother as early as birth, and the adoption law gives the biological mother only four days with her child.
Founder of Them Before Us Katy Faust believes left-wing governors like Healey protect animals while discarding children “because they want to have the appearance of compassion, as long as it does not infringe on their sexual liberty,” she told The Federalist. “Animals do not interrupt your sexual identity, your sexual desire, your sexual agenda the way children do. So, they want the appearance of compassion and tolerance, but not at the cost of actually adjusting their life.”
Before either the current abortion law or the animal cruelty laws reached Healey’s desk, they passed through the House with the help of the same people. The Federalist found that more than 40 Democrat House representatives co-sponsored one or both of the animal protection laws and also voted in favor of the abortion law.
