WOBURN — Massachusetts Republican Party Chairman Jim Lyons issued the following statement in response to the House of Representatives’ 107-46 vote to override Gov. Charlie Baker’s veto of legislation expanding access to late-term abortions:
“House Speaker Bob DeLeo picked Dec. 28, a holy day shared by millions in remembrance of the Day of the Holy Innocents, the mass-killing of martyred babies, to force an override vote to pass this sick legislation that effectively legalizes the killing of babies born alive following failed abortions. Speaker DeLeo has proven himself to be a modern-day King Herod and this twisted irony should not be lost on anyone who values living in a humane and compassionate society.”
