Senator Susan Collins’s war with pro-Roe sidewalk chalkers is attracting both national concern and mockery, and on Wednesday the hosts of MSNBC’s Morning Joe got in on the action.
The Maine senator is one of just a handful of pro-choice Repubicans in the Senate, the other two being Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia. Despite this stance, she has thus far refused to sign on to a Democratic bill to enshrine abortion rights into federal law, citing a desire to protect religious hospitals that refuse to perform abortion services.
