LD616 ensures that medical malpractice insurers in Maine cannot penalize healthcare professionals who offer reproductive health services solely because they face disciplinary actions in another state for providing those services.
The Maine State House of Representatives passed LD616 on June 20, 2023 by a vote of 79 to 66. We have assigned pluses to the nays because Maine should act to ban abortion, which disregards the unalienable right to life endowed by God to every person. States have a duty to not only secure this most sacred right, as guaranteed by both the 5th and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution, but to also reject the notion that “heath care” is in any manner the legitimate object of government.
