LD227 establishes legal protections for individuals and healthcare providers involved in “gender-affirming” and “reproductive health care” services. The law ensures that accessing such “services” is a legal “right” within the state and prohibits interference from out-of-state entities. It also safeguards healthcare practitioners from legal actions originating in other states related to these services.
The Maine State Senate passed LD227 on April 12, 2024 by a vote of 21 to 13. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill falsely declares access to these services a “right” despite no such guarantee in the Constitution, while violating the Declaration of Independence’s affirmation of unalienable rights, including life, protected by the Fifth and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Marxists and Leftists are pushing their woke agenda—claiming that one can choose his or her own gender and pronouns, and then force society to affirm them.
