Chip in today to elect Dem govs >>
Democratic governors are leading in the fight against Donald Trump. With our two historic victories in Virginia and New Jersey, grassroots momentum is on our side! But this year, nearly 80% of the country is voting for a governor – and with Republicans already investing to beat Dem govs, early support has never been so critical. Will you donate to elect more Democratic governors who will defend our rights and freedoms and stand up to Trump?
Paul LePage Refuses to Rule Out Signing Out-of-Touch Abortion Restrictions
Last Friday, Paul LePage once again refused to rule out signing abortion restrictions into law if elected governor of Maine.
Asked by the Bangor Daily News whether he would commit to not overturning abortion protections, LePage said he “didn’t say that.”
Since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, LePage has doubled down on his opposition to reproductive freedoms. And as governor, LePage defunded the state family planning agency, frequently attended anti-abortion rallies, and even said, “we should not have abortion.”
“While Gov. Janet Mills protects the right to choose and expands access to reproductive health care, Paul LePage is leaving the door open to extreme abortion restrictions that would drag Maine backward,” said DGA Senior Communications Advisor Christina Amestoy. “LePage is proving once again that he’s too radical and too out-of-touch for Maine.”
