Augusta, Maine – Today, ahead of the third year anniversary of the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade and ripping away protections on reproductive rights nationwide, the Maine Democratic Party is launching a new digital video and the new CollinsDoomedRoe.com website highlighting how the overturn of Roe and abortion bans across the country fall squarely on Senator Susan Collins’ shoulders.
See the video and website at CollinsDoomedRoe.com
As the video and website highlight:
Susan Collins is responsible for abortion bans nationwide, after she cast the decisive vote for the judges that overturned Roe v. Wade and voted against a bill to restore it.
Collins voted for the confirmations of Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh as Supreme Court justices – who were later deciding votes to overturn Roe v Wade in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization ruling.
Collins refused to stand up for Maine women when she voted against the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would have restored Roe v. Wade as the law of the land.
Collins has a long history of supporting anti-choice judges who are actively stripping rights away from women.
Collins voted to confirm a Trump-appointed judge who has argued that Mifepristone should be restricted and its FDA approval should be invalidated – even though the drug has been safely used under FDA approval for 23 years.
Collins voted to confirm multiple Trump-appointed judges who later upheld statewide abortion bans in Texas and Idaho.
Maine Democratic Party spokesperson Tommy Garcia:
“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.”
