Charles: “I Am Unapologetically Pro-Life.”

From Abortion to Health Care, GOP Gov Candidates Are Racing to the Right

At a gathering of Maine’s GOP gubernatorial candidates over the weekend, Bobby Charles pledged to roll back reproductive freedoms in Maine. Charles bragged about how he is “unapologetically pro-life,” promised to enact a dangerous abortion ban in Maine, and said that if he is elected “there will be no taxpayer funded abortions.”

Watch and read Charles’ comments on a dangerous abortion ban yourself:

It’s just the latest example of the Republican gubernatorial candidates’ race to the right on issue after issue — from health care to reproductive freedom. At a debate last month, the candidates voiced their support for plans to rip away reproductive care from women across the state and push an abortion ban that is out-of-step with the majority of Mainers.
