Susan Collins called the police to report 'defacement of public property' after someone wrote an abortion-rights message in chalk on a public sidewalk outside her house - https://www.businessinsider.com/susan-collins-calls-police-abortion-public-sidewalk-chalk-2022-5?utm_source =reddit.com
"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."
