The Hill: Maine Dems launch website targeting Collins over abortion ahead of Dobbs anniversary

  • The Maine Democratic Party has launched a website targeting Republican Sen. Susan Collins (Maine) for votes they say have caused a significant rollback in abortion rights.

  • The release of the website, shared exclusively with The Hill, comes ahead of the third anniversary of the Supreme Court’s 2022 ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned its longstanding precedent of Roe v. Wade. The ruling allowed states to make their own decisions on abortion access and has led to more than a dozen states moving to restrict access to the procedure.

  • A video released along with the website blames Collins for her votes to confirm Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, who were part of the five-justice majority that overturned Roe.

  • The video starts and ends with a recording of Collins announcing on the Senate floor that she would vote to confirm Kavanaugh.

  • “The overturning of Roe vs Wade falls squarely on Susan Collins’ shoulders. Mainers recognize and remember how Collins’ ‘no regrets’ decisive vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court — despite clear warnings of the threat he posed to Roe — led to bans on reproductive freedom nationwide, and it will cost her in 2026 when voters reject her,” said state Democratic Party spokesperson Tommy Garcia.

  • Collins’s vote on Kavanaugh in particular received significant attention as his nomination was ultimately approved in a 50-48 vote.

  • The website also notes Collins’s vote against advancing the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would have codified Roe into law, in 2022.

  • The website also attacks Collins over votes she’s taken in favor of federal judges who ultimately upheld abortion restrictions in certain states, including Stuart Kyle Duncan in Texas and Kenneth Lee from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

  • Collins will be a top target for Democrats seeking to make gains in the Senate in 2026…

  • … This would be the first time Collins is seeking reelection following the court’s overturning of Roe, giving Democrats hope that abortion rights can be a rallying point as it was in the 2022 midterms.
