It's also not up to you either. And none of your business. Although, I do agree with you, it should be between a pregnant woman and her doctor.

You are so gross it’s almost laughable 😂 🤢

It’s not up to you to determine what is fine and fair. This has nothing to do with you. It’s between the pregnant person and their doctor. I say this with no animosity. It’s just none of your business.

Beautiful work

It’s really none of your business.

Then expanding it to include medically necessary reasons (a child not surviving pregnancy, birth, or incapable of living long, or even a lifelong debilitating issue would totally be included) would be good thing.

Meh, whatever. I'm used to it. Especially when the subject is controversial.

These points mean nothing anyways so 🤷

I think Stephen King made Maine popular since almost every one of his books or movies are based on Maine cities, or Colorado.

I think you asked and worded this question superbly. I don't think you were being malicious in any sense of the word. Hate that you were downvoted for asking why people support a certain thing.. Civil discourse should always be a priority when discussing sensitive subjects like this. Idk just my thoughts. Really not trying to upset anyone by saying that

I live in a neighboring town, and we like to say that Jonesport manufactures fog, haha. There is a hiking trail on Beals, and quite a few nice ones in the area, but otherwise yeah, not much down there.

I'm too broke to donate, but whatever else we can do, you guys have my support!

Even if it's just balancing out the horrific, ignorant comments in this thread, good lord. I sure hope these are just out-of-state trolls because, c'mon Mainers, we're better than this.

"Close them legs ladies"? "Value their purity"?

The misogyny here! ☠️

There is nothing. Jonesport, also nothing. If you like kicking around very coastal rocky areas with nothing to do, that's Beals and Jonesport. The bridge between them is very cool. There was a campground in jonesport that might be a little more interesting for you. If you have a kayak or that type of thing this would be a perfect area to do that. But the beauty is unmatched. The air is splendid it gets very foggy though. It's a very unique down east experience. Isolated and quirky but in a good way.

Lol u guys are great with letting kids die in almost any other situation.

Hide yourself from the reality of what these procedures actually look like. Talk about closed minded. Im all for a woman's right to choose but how far is too far? Abortion as contraception is too much for me personally. Close them legs ladies! Your value is more than a quick lay! Teach your daughters to value their purity folks.

What a very closed-minded way of thinking about things.

Unless you are there for something you are doing at Downeast Institute, there is not a lot at all to do. You’ll have to entertain yourself. Having spent summers growing up nearby I can assure you that there is a normal amount of thunderstorms for Downeast Maine. The months you mentioned are the nicest ones weather wise.

You've got to be a pretty sick "doctor" to suck a baby out of it's mother's womb through a tube. We care more about a straw when it's stuck in a sea turtle's nose that when it's used to tear a baby apart limb by limb. Our society is sick and evil.

It was a case of schrodingers douchebag.

It’s only ever done in extreme situations where the baby would not survive or be at considerable risk for the mother. There was a woman who had to travel out of Maine to NY to get these services because her baby didn’t have a skull. It’s a medical procedure for unfortunate things that sometimes happen in pregnancy. It’s not just cause someone is like “oh, wait, nevermind!” at that stage. If you are actually asking in good faith and not just antagonizing people.

I have to respectfully disagree.

Thinking about the time when Tony Soprano, (as Wikipedia puts it) garrotes Fabian Petrullio. Never fails to bring some amount of pride and joy.

One of my good friends found out that their baby had suffered a serious issue and was no longer going to live at just past 4 months. She was heartbroken- had a name picked out, working on a nursery, planning a shower. She had to have an abortion despite the baby being very much wanted because it was not capable of living outside of the womb. It was incredibly tough for her- I cannot imagine how much harder it would be if she had to wait to actually deliver or wait for the fetus to start making her seriously ill before getting medical health. I feel like people who oppose late term abortion do not understand much about how pregnancy works.

Yes but the seals will drag you into the water and eat your face.

Sometimes mothers find out after the 24 week mark that the baby has issues incompatible with life. So if you get that horrible news, in this state it's either try to carry the pregnancy to term (maybe risking your own health) or travel to another state at great expense. Changing the law allows for Maine doctor's and the mother to make the best choice.
