After Celtics took a stunning loss in Game 3, there’s no telling what to expect in Game 4

Kate Dineen posed for a portrait with her husband, Alex Lawton, at their home in Boston. Last year, the couple traveled out of state to a clinic that performs late-in-pregnancy abortions after learning their son had suffered a catastrophic stroke in utero.

Traveling out of state for an abortion: A nightmarish journey that some Massachusetts women face, too

Kate Dineen paid about $10,000 out of pocket for procedure and travel costs to abort a planned pregnancy, after learning there was a 50 percent chance her son would die before birth.

The last abortion clinic in Mississippi only employs out-of-state doctors. Two are from Massachusetts.
