Massachusetts H2370 prioritizes patient access to care by modifying abortion regulations.

Massachusetts H2370 amends Chapter 112 of the General Laws to prioritize patient access to care by modifying abortion regulations. The bill removes the requirement for a physician to determine if an abortion is necessary to preserve the patient's life or health. Instead, it allows abortions based on the professional judgment of the physician. The bill also removes the need for a second physician's determination and eliminates the second paragraph of Section 12P. These changes aim to streamline the process and enhance patient access to care.
