In a nation where it is illegal to harm eagle eggs, why do we allow for the slaughter of innocent babies who are more valuable than birds? In any decent society, the taking of an innocent life cannot be justified under any circumstances.

One area where abortion is still rare is after a baby is viable. Time and time again, public polling has shown that a majority of the public oppose late-term abortion; they understand that it ends an innocent human life.

There is a bill making its way through the Maine Legislature that seeks to allow abortion right up to birth. Please contact our lawmakers in Augusta and tell them to vote “No.”
