Maine is now a nutty liberal state. Maine and Vermont were the only two states to vote against FDR in one of the elections. Now both of these states are overrun by liberal fruits and nuts.

It is obvious that in Maine, Republicans are really democrats...

In Vermont, politicians are looney-tunes...and mean...

New Hampshire has one very good senator, Sen. Gregg.

The rest of New England---progressive, liberal to the core.

I have one suggestion for the idiots who are against parental notification.
Remove the word "abortion" and insert "any medical procedure". Thats what an abortion is, a medical procedure.
The law would read, "A minor need not give due notice to one of his/her parents before receiving any medical procedure."
Tell me how many legislators would vote to pass that law!! It is absurd that abortion would get a pass like this. Plain and simple, this is the denial of parental rights over their children.

Bless Debra for trying! The whole argument for not notifying parents before an abortion stemmed from a few cases of deaths due to illegal abortion. If the teen wasn't afraid of their parents they would have not died. If they could just get an abortion without approaching parents the would still be on this earth.

Looking past the fact that abortion is murder this logic is just wrong. How many teens have died from complications following an abortion because they wouldn't tell their parents they needed medical treatment for complications following a procedure that the parents never knew about? I'm sure there are a few cases out there but so far nobody has spoken out about it. If they have spoken the media has kept it quite. Sooner or later it will happen because not every abortion goes smoothly.

If I were a parent and opened my mail one day and there was a bill for an abortion procedure on my daughter. hell would freeze over before I would pay it.

... continues to assist pro-choice women

Pro-choice my butt, these two *whores, snowe and collins, are pro-infanticide, neither of them has ever carried a baby to term, and ...

*Whore A woman who sells herself and accepts money in return for servicing a man or woman.

Snowe and Collins are whores of the very worst kind.

The only thing that makes these two tolerable is that they too will one day face God Almighty. One day they too will find that the writer of Hebrews 9:27 was qouting God.
