Maine governor expands access to abortion later in pregnancy

Excellent. The decision whether or not to terminate a pregnancy should be a private one between doctor and patient, no one else.

It’s always nice to come across some sane, reasonable news, isn’t it?

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.

Weird, I guess all those people spamming about nobody supporting abortions up until birth were always full of shit. Who could have known.
