Maine has a codified right to abortion in the state. For my opponent to immediately join the “furious protestors” only helps to sow division and add to what may likely descend into a climate of violence.
What the nation needs most now is to move forward in the spirit of compassion, trust and support – Support for women grappling with this life-changing decision, compassion toward our fellow citizens, and trust in this unique form of government as designed by our Founders.
ED THELANDER STATEMENT ON SCOTUS DECISION RE: DOBBS v. JACKSON WOMEN’S HEALTH ORGANIZATION
"During its long history, the United States Supreme Court has overturned prior rulings at an average rate of approximately once per year. A few instances are high-profile cases, while most are more obscure rulings. All are considered in the strict context of their constitutionality.
I respect the sanctity of life, just as I will respect the rights and opinions of all the people of Maine’s First Congressional District. Regardless of one’s position on whether there is a right to life or a right to abortion, this ruling merely corrects a prior decision that was, in the view of many, flawed legal reasoning.
With this decision, the Supreme Court puts the regulation of abortion back in the hands of State Legislatures, as the Founders intended. What the nation needs most now is to move forward in the spirit of compassion, trust and support – Support for women grappling with this life-changing decision, compassion toward our fellow citizens, and trust in this unique form of government as designed by our Founders."
