Maine considers bill that would establish 'legal right' to abortion, transgender surgical procedures
Fox News
Maine considers bill that would legalize abortions and transgender procedures and protect clinicians from facing penalties.
The bill, known as LD 227, would prohibit "interference" with abortion or sex change procedures, legally protect medical workers from facing lawsuits, and could potentially permit concealment of medical records from plaintiffs seeking legal action against a provider. Jamie Joseph is a writer who covers politics. She leads Fox News Digital coverage of the Senate.
Republicans opposing the bill caution that it might inadvertently allow for the "kidnapping" of adolescents in states that have heavier restrictions to undergo these procedures if they are taken across state borders to Maine.
