I was the lead co-sponsor of gay marriage in 2009 as Speaker of the House, and I know how important it is to stand up for and uphold equality for all families.

In my 20s, I relied on Planned Parenthood for my primary care, and I know so many others that do the same. I'm deeply saddened by this news.
We need a governor who will fight to protect access, to keep our clinics open, and to make sure every Mainer can get the care they need.
