You call us barbaric when you're killing babies? LMFAO at the level of hypocrisy.

It's about leaving the medical process and decisions between the patient and doctor. the state ought not have any input.

You ignorant wingnuts are barbaric.
Late-term abortion overwhelmingly only occurs when the medical situation is horrifically dire.

What's ideal about ground mounted is the array can be placed perfectly, if you have the exposure, and you don't need to worry about roof work.

Because the baby isn't viable, but isn't threating the mother. If you made it that long in this state especially, it's a wanted pregnancy. So you go to an appointment and the doctor tells you that if your baby was to manage to survive birth than it would suffocate and die right after. The doctor recommends terminating the pregnancy but you're after the 24 week mark and they can't do anything about it. Now you get to either spend the rest of your pregnancy dealing with the fact that you are carrying a baby that will die horribly (which is pretty messed up) or if you're lucky enough you can afford to make a trip to another state. This bill would change that and allow the doctor in Maine and the patient to make that call without government interference.

Loved that show until I think Cinderella showed up and it just became a giant Disney Mashup to introduce characters

Thank you so much! Means a ton. I think that’s a great perspective. To be honest I just tried thinking of the things I’ll miss about winter and I really struggled to think of anything 🤣🤣

I like it. Especially with Storybrooke, Maine.

Expand it beyond viability? Why not just go all the way to when the water has already broken like many democrats want?
Majestic-Feedback541 t1_jcln16w wrote
24 weeks is quite generous, I think this is fine and fair. I also think the mother being in danger afterwards is fair reasoning for a later term abortion.
Why do you guys wanna abort at such late stages unless it's necessary? (Honest question) I just don't get it. At the same time, I don't think I'd ever opt for an abortion myself, but you do you its harms me 0%

Be prepared for a lot of power outages. I live on the Sebago / Standish border (the other side of the lake) and have experienced 7 power outages so far in 2023.
Like many smaller towns, the people who never left tend to have their politics lean towards red, while younger transplants tend to lean blue. I'm seeing an overall slow shift towards blue though.

If it has shipped then it is in the mail and will take as long as regular mail. So 1-3 business days.
They don't have a separate mailing system for IDs

Used to be there. Tourist area. I love the pine trees but your children will have long grueling bus rides if you dont live near the school.
​
Housing is also pretty expensive up there... not as much as Portland per say, but there are definitley cheaper areas.

If you get a note from your bank or employer, you can pick it up the same day in Augusta.

Why is killing a baby after viability when it is not threatening the mother's life a good thing? Most Americans support the right to early abortion but do not support mid to late term abortion. Abortion after viability is wrong.
