Gov. Janet Mills ran on a promise to make no changes to Maine’s already loose abortion law. LD 1619 would allow for abortion up to the time of birth, with the approval of a qualified medical professional.
A child can survive outside the womb at 22-23 weeks of the pregnancy. Imagine, just another days or moments and that child will be born with all the potential and promise of any human being.
So, why make it easier to abort a child after viability? Only seven countries have equally lax abortion laws. If LD 1619 passes, Maine will join the likes of certain provinces in China, North Korea and Vietnam in their lack of protection of unborn children.
I hope people contact their state representatives and ask them to protect the lives of viable children from the violence of abortion.
