Controversial Maine Bill on Transgender Surgeries and Abortion Protections

Republican Maine State Rep. Laurel Libby is working to block a bill in Maine that would make the state a sanctuary for transgender surgeries and treatments, including for children. The bill, LD 227, protects medical providers from lawsuits and interference for providing services that are unlawful in other states, such as abortion and gender transition procedures. The bill has passed the Democrat-dominated legislature and awaits the governor's signature.
