A woman’s right to have an abortion is under assault.  Take Arkansas and North Dakota, which recently passed two of the most restrictive abortion laws in the country.  Or Kansas, which is considering a similar law.  Or Texas and Alabama, which are pushing bills designed to force women's health centers to shut their doors.  The list goes on.

Maine could very well be next if three anti-choice bills before the Maine legislature become law:

LD 760 would force doctors to tell women unnecessary, coercive information before they could obtain an abortion.

LD 1339 would repeal Maine’s successful adult involvement law and replace it with a law requiring physicians to obtain signed consent from a minor’s parent before she can obtain an abortion.

LD 1193 seeks to convey legal status to a fetus, including granting the fetus legal rights to “heirs and an estate.”

Today, a group of mothers and grandmothers from around the state were in Augusta to push back against this dangerous legislation.

You can help as well.  Tell your legislators not to roll back abortion rights.
