This week I’ve heard from 3,500+ constituents who are outraged that millions of Americans are poised to lose control of their own bodies after nearly 50 years.

82% of them said loud + clear: Congress must pass a bill to protect #RoevWade.
I was moved that so many Mainers shared stories about their own abortions, complicated pregnancies, and miscarriages. Like Cathie from @CityPortland.

Their stories are no one’s business, but they felt compelled to speak up b/c abortion is health care, not a political football.
While we are fortunate to have a Governor who has pledged to uphold abortion access in Maine, our reproductive rights should not be at risk every election year. #PassWHPA

On the 49th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, reproductive rights across the country are no longer just being chipped away at – they are being bulldozed straight into the ground. I refuse to stand silently by and watch that happen. #Roe49 #RoevWade
Protecting reproductive rights has never been more important in our history than right now. We must fight for reproductive justice by protecting and expanding access to abortion, birth control, and all forms of reproductive health care and passing the ERA.
I’m proud to be one of the 8 in 10 Americans who support the legal right to abortion. That’s an overwhelming majority of our country, and it’s time to act like it with concrete actions to safeguard this right. It’s time to #PassWHPA and #PassERA.

🚨 At around midnight last night, the Supreme Court denied the emergency request to block #SB8, Texas’ draconian, dystopian ban on abortion. So what does that mean? We’ve got a short 🧵 for you to explain. #SCOTUS 1/8
The bottom line is that #SB8 is law—for now. Devastatingly, this means most abortion is banned in the state—for now. Abortion is banned at about 6 weeks into pregnancy, well before many people even know they’re pregnant, since it’s only 2 weeks after a missed period. 2/8
And as usual, #SB8 will most directly harm people who are already the most vulnerable. That includes LGBTQ+ people, people in rural areas, BIPOC people, and those with low incomes. This is by design, because the cruelty of this law is so clearly the point. 3/8
