Maine wants to make Democrats’ unpopular abortion views into state law, despite citizens’ objections.

Democrats in Maine Push for Extreme Abortion Legislation

Only 10 Percent of Americans Support Radical Abortion Demands

Despite the fact that only 10 percent of Americans support radical demands to legalize abortion up until the moment of birth, Democrats in Maine, led by Gov. Janet Mills, are working to pass legislation enshrining their unlimited, on-demand abortion extremism in law for more than 1.3 million people.

Maine’s Current Abortion Law

Current Maine law states that abortions may only be performed before “viability,” a term often defined as between 23 and 24 weeks gestation. Any abortions performed beyond the designated viability period were allowed based on a necessity to “preserve the life or health of the mother.”

Proposed Changes to Maine’s Abortion Law

The bill from Maine’s Democrat trifecta government would replace the exception for when a mother’s life is in danger with a clause allowing abortions at any point in pregnancy based on “the professional judgment of a [licensed] physician.” The legislation also ensures that unlicensed abortionists or anyone who ends an unborn baby’s life “when it was not necessary for the preservation of the life or health of the mother” will not face any criminal penalty or punishment from the state.

Democrats Want to Loosen Abortion Laws

Mills and her Democrat allies in the legislature said they want to further loosen the state’s abortion laws to stick it to the Supreme Court and pro-life states following the Dobbs v. Jackson decision last summer. Planned Parenthood and corporate media also expressed support for the legislation.

Pushback from Pro-Lifers

Despite strong pushback from their constituents, Maine Democrats are expected to pass the bill without a hitch. When hundreds of people showed up to the State House in Maine to voice their opposition to the bill, their concerns were minimized. While the 65 Mainers who showed up to testify in favor of the legislation were allowed at least two minutes to state their case, the more than 675 pro-lifers who signed up to assert their objection during the 19-hour hearing had their time cut short from a customary three minutes to one.

Conclusion

Maine Democrats are pushing for extreme abortion legislation that goes against the wishes of the majority of Americans. Despite strong opposition, they are expected to pass the bill without a hitch. It’s important to stand up for the sanctity of life and make our voices heard in the democratic process.
