Maine governor expands access to abortion later in pregnancy
Maine will soon expand abortion access, joining a half dozen states that leave it to doctors and patients to make the decision without restrictions on timing
Maine will allow abortion at any point in a pregnancy, leaving it to a doctor’s discretion
Excellent. The decision whether or not to terminate a pregnancy should be a private one between doctor and patient, no one else.
Yeah these morons should instead focus on protecting kids from abusive parents.
It’s always nice to come across some sane, reasonable news, isn’t it?
I certainly wish there were some
Good for Maine.
Democratic Gov. Janet Mills signed a bill into law Wednesday that allows abortions at any time if deemed medically necessary by a doctor, making the law one of the nation's least restrictive. The previous law banned abortions after a fetus becomes viable outside the womb, at roughly 24 weeks, but allowed an exception if the patient’s life is at risk.
I couldn't find a source on this so I gotta ask, would abortion in cases like that just mean that the pregnancy is terminated early, with the child being handled the same way as others who are born prematurely are, if at all possible? In other words, do these protesters have a point at all?
Large numbers of protesters were not in the State House on Wednesday as they were during the legislative debate. Instead, a lone demonstrator stood outside the governor's cabinet room holding a sign that called the law a “death sentence" for unborn babies.
Generally, late term abortions are done when the child would have some extreme deficiency, so you’re sparing a child a lot of pain and an extremely short life (hours or days)
Maine: the way life should be
Weird, I guess all those people spamming about nobody supporting abortions up until birth were always full of shit. Who could have known.
Interesting. Never seen that before. Maybe they were saying nobody aborts a healthy fetus?
