During a Jan. 17 news conference, Gov. Mills announced a bill that would legalize aborting babies up to the very moment of their birth, causing Maine to become one of the most extreme pro-abortion states in the country. Do we want our government to legalize murder? Many of us would not and do not.

Unborn babies are human beings. To snuff out these little lives is to deny them their most fundamental, inalienable right to life, granted by Almighty God and protected by our founding documents.

It is time to draw a line in the sand and defend the existence of future citizens of our state. Please contact our state legislators. Tell them unborn babies deserve protection. Tell them you, as a voter, expect them to honor and defend life. Urge them to oppose this and other abortion bills.
