Republican state Rep. Joseph McKenna would like to make Massachusetts the first U.S. state to give pro-life taxpayers the option to ask that any taxes they pay not go toward the funding of abortion services.
Under the “Taxpayer Conscience Rights” proposal, the state’s taxpayers would be able to indicate on their state tax returns that they want the portion of their income tax liability currently used to finance tax-funded abortion services to be redistributed to the state’s Baby Safe Haven program, which provides immunity to parents who voluntarily give up their newborns for adoption.
