(Boston Orange編譯) 麻州州長奚莉 (Maura Healey) 今（4）日聲明，支持美國最高法院暫時恢復郵寄流產藥物美服培酮 (mifepristone) 的決定，強調該藥物在麻州境內依然安全合法，患者目前仍可透過郵寄或親自就診獲取照護。
美國最高法院此舉，推翻了下級法院上週末的封鎖裁定。
奚莉州長表示，目前的裁決仍然是暫時性的，最高法院即將做出的最終判決至關重要。她敦促最高法院與美國食品藥物管理局 (FDA) 務必保障民眾獲取藥物的權利，並抨擊川普總統 (Donald Trump) 及其盟友正利用各種手段剝奪女性的生產全，尤其是使用藥物流產的權利。
為因應這一狀況，麻州已採取囤積美服培酮、簽署「盾牌法(Shield Laws) 」，以及發佈行政命令等具體行動。奚莉州長感謝麻州內的提供醫療服務者，並承諾將在各個領域持續保護生育醫療權益，以確保患者在法律爭議期間仍能獲得穩定的醫療照護。
Governor Healey Urges Women to Continue to Seek Care as Supreme Court Temporarily Restores Access to Mifepristone by Mail
BOSTON – Governor Maura Healey today released the following statement after the U.S. Supreme Court temporarily restored access to the abortion medication mifepristone by mail, after a lower court ruling blocked it late last week.
“Today’s Supreme Court decision is good news for the millions of women across the United States who rely on mifepristone for abortion and miscarriage management. Women in Massachusetts should continue to seek care in the manner of their choosing, as mifepristone remains safe, legal and accessible – in person and by mail,” said Governor Healey. “But we know this is only temporary. The Supreme Court will soon make their final decision, and it is essential that they and the FDA protect access to mifepristone. President Trump and his extreme, anti-abortion allies will continue to use every lever possible to take away women’s reproductive rights, especially medication abortion. In Massachusetts, we will continue to fight these attacks on every front and protect women’s access to reproductive care. I’m particularly grateful right now for all of the incredible providers across our state who are making sure that patients get the care they need. We will continue to stand with you every step of the way.”
Governor Healey has taken steps to protect access to reproductive health care, including stockpiling mifepristone, signing one of the most comprehensive Shield Laws in the country, and issuing an Executive Order confirming protections for medication abortion under existing state law. Providers across the state continue to prescribe medication abortion in accordance with state law, and patients can continue to seek care without interruption.
