BOSTON—(ENEWSPF)—July 29, 2014. The Massachusetts legislature today passed a new law to protect patients at reproductive health centers from abusive and intimidating protesters. Governor Deval Patrick has said he will act quickly to sign the bill into law – just a month after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a 2007 state law that prevented protesters from coming within 35 feet of the entrances to Planned Parenthood health centers and other reproductive health providers in the state.
