The Maine Republican previously voted against a bill that would codify Roe v. Wade, which the Supreme Court is poised to overturn this summer.
Sen. Susan Collins called the police on Saturday over a chalk drawing on a public sidewalk by her home that politely asked the Maine Republican to protect abortion rightsPolice in Bangor, Maine, responded Saturday night to investigate the water-soluble message that asked Collins to support the Women’s Health Protection Act, which effectively keeps abortion rights legal at the federal level in the event that the Supreme Court overturns the 1973 ruling guaranteeing abortion access.“Susie, please..
Collins told the newspaper that she was “grateful” to police and the city’s public works employee “who responded to the defacement of public property in front of our home.” Bangor police spokesman Wade Betters confirmed to HuffPost that a complaint was made about the chalk message, saying it was not threatening and no crime was committed. He said the city’s public works department washed off the chalk.
The senator’s office did not respond to HuffPost’s request for comment on whether focusing energy on constituents’ reactions to their oppression is more important than the oppression itself.This is the sidewalk chalk Susan Collins called the Bangor PD over, it says"Susie, please, Mainers want WHPA → vote yes, clean up your mess"
She called the goddamn cops. Over chalk. She's going to be responsible for murdering women, but this? Too much.
