Maine Senate Blocks Ban on Trafficking in Aborted Baby Remains

Maine’s State Senate on Tuesday blocked a proposed amendment that would have put a four-year moratorium on the trafficking of fetal remains leftover from late-term abortions.

The proposed floor amendment from Sen. Eric Brakey (R-Androscoggin) followed approval by the Senate of Gov. Janet Mills’ controversial proposal to eliminate restrictions on late-term abortions in Maine.
