Maine Dems Statement on Anniversary of Collins Confirming Kavanaugh

CollinsDoomedRoe.com highlights Collins' record threatening reproductive freedom

Augusta, Maine - Today, on the anniversary of Susan Collins' decisive vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, which led to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Maine Democratic Party spokesperson Tommy Garcia released the following statement:

"Mainers recognize and remember how Susan Collins' decisive vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court led to bans on reproductive freedom nationwide. Voters will reject Collins in 2026 for her role in overturning Roe, her ongoing support for anti-choice judges, and the threat she continues to pose to Mainers' health care and reproductive freedom as she rubber-stamps her party's priorities."

The Maine Democratic Party previously launched a digital video and the CollinsDoomedRoe.com website that highlights how the overturn of Roe and abortion bans across the country fall squarely on Senator Susan Collins' shoulders after her "no regrets" confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh.

Susan 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 and Brett Kavanaugh 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" Trump-appointed anti-choice judgeswho have advocated for and defended near-total abortion bans in states.
