#Maine #GovernorJanetMills fires back after #Trump's demand for 'full throated apology'

by Randy Billings, Mon, March 24, 2025

Mar. 24—"Maine Gov. Janet Mills on Monday brushed off President Donald #Trump's weekend demand that she issue a 'full throated apology' for publicly challenging him during a White House event last month.

"The governor responded to Trump's social media post while at a public event in Bangor. But it was not an apology.

"Mills contested Trump's claims that he wants to protect women through his executive order barring #TransgenderAthletes from women's sports, pointing out that women in the United States and around the world will be hurt by his moves to eliminate #ForeignAid, attack #SocialSecurity and #Medicaid, and impose #tariffs that will spark #TradeWars and drive up consumer prices.

"'If the current occupant of the White House wants to protect women and girls, he should start by protecting the women and teenage girls who are suffering #miscarriages and dying because they can't get basic, life-saving health care in states across this country,' Mills said, according to the Bangor Daily News. 'If he truly cares about women and girls and people of this country, let's see the economic plan. Let's see the health care plan. Let's see the education plan.'

"Mills, who was in Bangor celebrating the purchase of a mobile home park by its residents under a new state law, added that 'if he cares about women and girls, he should talk about the little girls and boys and infants in #Sudan and other countries who are dying right now because he has cut off their supply of food and life-saving medicines.'"

#JosseliBarnica is 1 of ≥2 #Texas women who…lost their lives after doctors delayed treating #miscarriages, which fall into a gray area under the state’s strict #abortion #laws that prohibit doctors from ending the #heartbeat of a #fetus.

Neither wanted an abortion, but that didn’t matter. Though proponents insist the laws protect both the life of the fetus & the person carrying it, in practice, #doctors have hesitated to provide care under threat of #prosecution, #prison & professional ruin.

“I want the men in the arena to bear w/me on this,” #MichelleObama said, “because there’s more at stake than just protecting a woman’s choice to give birth.” She described a #woman’s body as a “complicated business,” & spoke about abnormal #PapSmears, #mammograms, infections, & #miscarriages; about #menstrual problems & #menopause; & about inequities in funding for research into #WomensHealth.

The absence of consensus created a political vacuum that allowed some of the most #extreme activists to push draconian measures in state legislatures.

#Republicans were faced w/a host of questions…. Should #AbortionPills be banned? #IVF? How should states handle #miscarriages? (this month, #SCOTUS unanimously rejected a challenge to…the #abortion & #miscarriage-management drug #mifepristone. But efforts cont to restrict its use, incl a prop from #Project2025, organized by #HeritageFoundation…)

Is it still a human? Homo sapiens?
They seem to be doing this to study the early phases of #pregnancy and prevent #miscarriages, but this is really a small step away from really serious and morally questionable actions.
