Emily’s List targeting Gov. Charlie Baker in new campaign for refusing to expand abortion rights in Massachusetts Updated 8:00 AM; By Steve LeBlanc | The Associated Press A national political action committee dedicated to helping elect Democratic woman who support abortion rights say they are targeting a series of Republican governors, including Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker. The group, EMILY’s List, faulted Baker for refusing to expand abortion rights in Massachusetts. Specifically, the group criticized Baker for opposing legislation that would enlarge access to reproductive care and codify the right to an abortion into Massachusetts state law. They also pointed to his opposition to allowing abortion later in pregnancy under certain medical conditions, and his support of requiring minors to obtain parental consent to have an abortion.
