Maine Dems launch website targeting Collins over abortion ahead of Dobbs anniversary

[In It to Win It]

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.

1. They should have a campaign against her based on "I'm concerned."

In advertising, name the disasters caused by the GOP led Congress that she voted for and then a clip of her saying "I'm concerned."

2. Do it

Roe must be restored by any means necessary and we must not give up the fight.

The right to choose didn’t lose the election for us in November, it just didn’t win it for us. But we must never abandon this cause.

3. But a Green Party member told me

that Dobbs was all the fault of democrats, specifically Clinton & Obama, because they never codified Roe into law. (Of course, this ignores that anything short of a constitutional amendment could be overturned by a right wing Supreme Court. But never let facts get in the way of a good blame democrats rant.)

4. Not willing to get my hopes up again on that race

Been burned too many times.

But we might as well put in the effort. It's one of just a handful of potentially endangered red seats this cycle and we need to pick up 4.
