缅因州供应商寻求州资助,以抵消联邦削减威胁堕胎服务的费用。 Maine providers seek state funding to offset federal cuts threatening abortion services.

缅因州堕胎提供者,包括新英格兰北部计划生育组织和缅因州计划生育机构,计划在2026年寻求州内持续供资,以取代失去的联邦支助,理由是医疗补助和特朗普政府第十编削减了550万美元的资金缺口。 Maine’s abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood of Northern New England and Maine Family Planning, plan to seek ongoing state funding in 2026 to replace lost federal support, citing a $5.5 million shortfall from Medicaid and Title X cuts under the Trump administration. 他们警告说,不断上升的需求和费用威胁到他们维持服务的能力,他们已经被迫关闭三个诊所的初级保健。 They warn rising demand and costs threaten their ability to maintain services, already forced to close primary care at three clinics. 虽然国家领导人支持持续护理, 但一些立法者和基督教公民联盟反对将纳税人的钱用于他们认为优先的政治议程的组织。 While state leaders support sustaining care, some lawmakers and the Christian Civic League oppose using taxpayer money for organizations they say prioritize political agendas. 供应商继续为病人提供服务,并正在推动筹款活动,但告诫说,如果没有稳定的资金,可能有必要进一步减少服务。 Providers continue serving patients and are boosting fundraising but caution that further service reductions may be necessary without stable funding.
