Maine Dems launch website targeting Collins over abortion ahead of Dobbs anniversary [View all]
The Maine Democratic Party has launched a website targeting Republican Sen. Susan Collins (Maine) for votes she they say have caused a significant rollback in abortion rights.
The release of the website, shared exclusively with The Hill, comes ahead of the third anniversary of the Supreme Court’s 2022 ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned its longstanding precedent of Roe v. Wade. The ruling allowed states to make their own decisions on abortion access and has led to more than a dozen states moving to restrict access to the procedure.
A video released along with the website blames Collins for her votes to confirm Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, who were part of the five-justice majority that overturned Roe.
The video starts and ends with a recording of Collins announcing on the Senate floor that she would vote to confirm Kavanaugh.
