Augusta, ME – This week, in comments to the Boothbay Register, Susan Collins confirmed that she doesn’t regret not just her vote for Brett Kavanaugh, but any of three votes she cast for the justices who overturned Roe v. Wade.

Misha Linnehan, spokesperson for the Maine Democratic Party, released the following statement:

“Because of the justices that Susan Collins put on the Supreme Court, millions of women now live under abortion bans and cannot access essential reproductive health care. Collins has made clear that not only does she have no regrets, but she will continue to vote for Trump’s anti-choice judges and appointees as long as she remains in the Senate. That’s why she must be retired this November.”

Read more about how Collins has endangered women’s reproductive rights:

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, Brett Kavanaugh and Samuel Alito 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.

• Collins has continued to “rubber stamp” dozens of Trump-appointed anti-choice judges who have advocated for and defended near-total abortion bans in states.
