Minogue secures GOP nomination to challenge Healey in Massachusetts

Former Abiomed CEO Mike Minogue has won the Republican nomination for Massachusetts governor, defeating Brian Shortsleeve in a primary that saw Minogue secure roughly 70% of the vote.

Massachusetts broadens late-term abortion access with new law

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey signed a law that removes gestational limits on abortion beyond 24 weeks, allowing doctors to perform later-term procedures based on medical judgment and providing greater protections for providers. The measure passed the House largely along party lines and drew backlash from conservatives and some Democrats who branded it extreme, while supporters say it expands patient access and prevents residents from needing to travel out of state.
