As the most trusted messenger on reproductive health issues, the PPNNE Action Fund- ME PAC will affect the outcome of the 2008 elections. In 2006 90% of the candidates we endorsed were elected! This overwhelming victory strengthened our pro-choice majority in the House and Senate and halted legislative attempts to chip away at reproductive health.

We need your help to succeed in 2008 and ensure that our elected officials stand up for reproductive health and safety now and in the future!  The 2007 US Supreme Court abortion ban ruling gave anti-choice legislators the green-light to introduce legislation restricting access to abortion and reproductive health care. With your help Maine will never face these restrictions.

Join Us Today!

The PPNNE Action Fund- ME PAC is a political action committee established to foster a political climate in Maine that favors and protects reproductive choice. Together we will unite the voices, and votes, of pro-choice Mainers to preserve reproductive freedom for Maine women and families!


 

How Can I Help!

Although Maine has a pro-choice House and Senate, our opponents are organized and well-funded.  We must continue to build on our recent success!
