Susan Collins calls police over pro-choice public-sidewalk chalk

"Susie, please, Mainers want WHPA —> vote yes, clean up your mess," said the chalk, which local police acknowledged was "not overtly threatening."

Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, one of just two nominally pro-choice Republicans in the Senate, called the police on Saturday night over an abortion-rights message written in chalk in front of her house in Bangor.

According to the Bangor Daily News, officers responded to a call at 9:20 p.m. on Saturday after the message appeared on a public sidewalk on West Broadway. It read: "Susie, please, Mainers want WHPA —> vote yes, clean up your mess."

"WHPA" is a reference to the Women's Health Protection Act, a bill that would codify the right to an abortion, afforded by Roe v. Wade, into federal law. Senate Democrats teed up a Wednesday vote on the bill, which was passed by the House in September, in the wake of a leaked draft Supreme Court opinion that would overturn Roe.

"The message was not overtly threatening," Wade Betters, a spokesperson for the Bangor Police Department, told the Bangor Daily News, which also reported that the message was no longer visible by Monday afternoon.

These poor senators. Getting chalk messages outside their house all because they voted to take away women's rights.

Why did Maine reelect her in 2020?
That was after Kavanaugh.

The senate will unanimously pass a bill that make writing chalk in front of house punishable by firing squad execution in a couple hours.

Yep time to update it. Add a "call the chalk Police" bar.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

The chalk message is literally begging for a Senate vote, and not a threat, am I reading this right?

I swear to God "moderates" in this country really believe that nothing they do matters as long as they're wealthy, huh?

Usually sidewalks are not private property. Not sure what law was broken here exactly, maybe the town has some kind of ordinance against chalk on public property…

The strain and stress of chalk and a polite message is real, damn it.
