"How Have We Lost Our Humanity?" – Far Left Massachusetts Rep's Stunning Hypocrisy Targets Women Who Regret Their Abortions

On June 27, 2025, Massachusetts State Rep. Lindsay Sabadosa shared an emotional post on social media:

It hurts my heart every day that this is happening in America. I believed our country was a place where if you called 911 you got help. How have we lost our humanity?

Rep. Sabadosa was responding to a horrifying incident in an ICE detention center near Denver. A nurse had called 911 in desperation for a woman who was four months pregnant, bleeding, and crying out in pain. The 911 dispatcher could only ask heartbreaking questions:

Is there any sign of life?
Have we heard a heartbeat?
Does she feel any kicking?

And the powerless reply: “We don’t have the equipment to do that.”

It’s a story that rightly breaks any human heart. No woman should ever be abandoned in a moment of medical crisis – especially not one fighting to save her baby.

Yet let’s not ignore the political context. Rep. Sabadosa shared this story because she’s opposed to illegal immigration enforcement and the detention of undocumented immigrants. She’s exploiting this woman’s suffering to advance a political narrative about immigration policy.

And that’s precisely what makes her position so breathtakingly hypocritical. Because just weeks earlier, Rep. Sabadosa filed legislation in Massachusetts that would legally force doctors to tell another group of women in a medical crisis those very same words: “We can’t help you.”

A Bill That Punishes Compassion

Rep. Sabadosa’s new bill, House No. 4122, seeks to ban abortion pill reversal – a legitimate medical intervention that can be used to try and save a pregnancy if a woman changes her mind after taking the first abortion pill, mifepristone.

Her legislation reads:

A person licensed pursuant to this chapter shall not provide, prescribe, administer or attempt medication abortion reversal. . . . A person who violates this section shall be subject to disciplinary procedures by their licensing board.

Under Sabadosa’s proposal, doctors who help a woman reverse her abortion could lose their medical licenses, livelihoods, and abilities to practice medicine.

In other words, a doctor acting with compassion and upholding the Hippocratic Oath could be professionally destroyed simply for offering hope to a woman desperate to save her baby. Instead of compassion, the law would force healthcare providers to turn women away at the very moment they’re pleading for help.

Sabadosa’s Fierce Support for Abortion – No Matter the Cost

What makes this hypocrisy so staggering is how passionately Rep. Sabadosa champions unfettered abortion access. Her social media contains declarations of loyalty to Planned Parenthood, Reproductive Equity Now, and radical abortion activism.

Just last year, she posted a photo standing with the President and CEO of Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts, writing:

I was proud to stand with Dominique Lee . . . and so many others fighting not just to defend access to care, but to expand it. Here in Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to lead – to pass stronger protections, to close gaps in access, and to never accept injustice as someone else’s problem. The work continues.

She’s advocated against any restrictions on the abortion pill:

DON’T MESS WITH MY MIFE.

And she’s falsely insisted abortion is not only a right, but is essential healthcare, proclaiming:

Restricting or eliminating access to mifepristone . . . poses a serious threat to the health and well-being of the constituents I was put into office to protect. Let me emphasize: mifepristone is both safe and effective, and abortion is an essential aspect of healthcare.

She’s even called pro-life advocates “antichoice zealots,” vowing that in Massachusetts: We will never let them win.” (Emphasis added.)

But the truth about mifepristone is far more sobering than Sabadosa’s slogans suggest.

The Reality of Mifepristone

The Ethics and Public Policy Center reports that chemical abortion drugs like mifepristone pose real dangers to women. Studies show chemical abortions carry four times the complication rate of surgical abortions. Up to one in 25 women ends up in the emergency room after taking these drugs. Women face hemorrhaging, excruciating pain, infections – and severe emotional trauma.

Meanwhile, every chemical abortion – if successful – ends the life of an unborn child. That’s not hypothetical. That’s the reality Rep. Sabadosa fights to expand.

Yet if a woman takes that first abortion pill, regrets it, and is desperate to save her baby, Rep. Sabadosa wants the state to silence doctors who might help her.

What Abortion Pill Reversal Actually Does

Abortion pill reversal isn’t experimental medicine. It uses progesterone therapy, a treatment safely used in pregnancy care for decades, to try to counteract mifepristone’s effects.

Heartbeat International’s Abortion Pill Rescue Network reports that women have about 72 hours after taking mifepristone to attempt reversal. They receive over 200 calls every month from women desperate to save their babies. Studies show a 64–68% success rate, with no increased risk of birth defects compared to the general population.

More than 6,000 babies have been saved nationwide thanks to the abortion pill reversal.

Yet under Sabadosa’s bill, doctors who provide this compassionate care could lose everything they’ve worked for professionally.

The Real Loss of Humanity

Rep. Sabadosa was moved by the story of a woman in an ICE detention center being told, “We don’t have the equipment to do that.”

But her own legislation would force Massachusetts doctors to tell women pleading to save their babies: “We’re not allowed to help you.”

That’s the true hypocrisy. Rep. Sabadosa is quick to exploit the suffering of one pregnant woman for political purposes – because it fits her opposition to immigration enforcement. Yet when it comes to countless other women who regret taking the abortion pill and desperately want to save their babies, she stands ready to silence doctors and punish them for offering hope.

She fights fiercely to expand access to a drug that harms women and kills unborn children. But when women seek a second chance, she wants to shut the door and destroy the careers of medical professionals who act out of conscience and compassion.

So much for “choice.” So much for “humanity.”

A Hearing Approaches – the ACLJ Will Be There

A legislative hearing on Massachusetts House Bill 4122 was held on July 10. I attended the hearing, and we submitted written testimony in opposition to this dangerous bill.

We will stand for truth, for the ability of pro-life doctors to practice medicine according to their conscience, and for women and babies who deserve true life-affirming medical care.

The ACLJ’s Stand

At the ACLJ, we believe compassion doesn’t end when a woman initiates an abortion. Women deserve real choices – especially the choice to save their baby. Legislators should not outlaw hope. And doctors should never risk losing their medical licenses by practicing evidence-based medicine and upholding the Hippocratic Oath.

Contact your Massachusetts legislators today. Tell them to oppose House Bill 4122. Tell them that humanity means helping women even when they choose life over abortion.

Join the ACLJ in fighting for life, freedom, and true compassion for all women.
