Governor Janet Mills has been a staunch supporter of reproductive freedom in Maine. She has expanded access to reproductive healthcare, consistently defended reproductive rights, and has allocated state funding to organizations providing essential reproductive healthcare services.
The bill signed by Governor Janet Mills allows nurse practitioners and physician assistants to perform abortions. This action significantly expands access to abortion services, especially in rural areas where there are fewer doctors.

Advocates praise passage, signing of shield law that will protect Maine providers of reproductive care and care for transgender people from out-of-state attacks
