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
Beyond what the Supreme Court decides in the coming weeks, Republican-led states are already creating horrific laws that would jail women for obtaining abortion care.
We are seeing a nationwide assault on our personal liberty and that’s why @HouseDemocrats passed the Women’s Health Protection Act last September, despite every single House Republican voting against it.
I surveyed thousands of my constituents to share their opinions about abortion access and concerns regarding news that the Supreme Court is poised to overturn #RoevWade after nearly 50 years.
The results are overwhelming, but not surprising. #mepolitics
