Planned Parenthood statement on Maine Legislature's HCIFS committee vote to advance LD 227

For Immediate Release: March 21, 2024


Statement from Lisa Margulies, Esq., Vice President of Public Affairs, Planned Parenthood Maine Action Fund and Planned Parenthood of Northern New England on the Maine Legislatures' HCIFS committee vote to advance LD 227 

“Mainers can be proud today that 8 elected leaders said loudly and clearly: We will protect our state’s health care providers and access to care from extremist attacks. 

Reproductive care and care for transgender people is medical care that is safe and legal in Maine. We have seen over the past few weeks that people both inside and outside of our state who are opposed to this safe, legal medical care will not stop their attempts to take away our rights and freedoms, and the protections provide by LD 227 are a step forward in ensuring Maine’s clinicians can continue offering safe, legal medical care without fear of hostile actions from out-of-state actors.”
