Americans United for Life Statement on LD 924 Page 1 of 15 Statement of Mailee R. Smith, Esq., before the Maine Joint Standing Committee on Judiciary On LD 924: An Act To Educ ate Women on the Medical Risks Associated with Abortion MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE: I am Mailee Smith, staff counsel with Americans United for Life (AUL), a national public interest law firm with a practice in abortion and bioethics law. I have extensive experience in constitutional law and abortion jurisprudence, including the constitutionality of laws regulating women’s informed consent before abortion. In the area of informed consent laws, my experience includes legislative work and litigation. Since 2005, I have worked with numerous states on proposed informed consent bills. I have consulted with legislators, participated in the drafting of bills, provided oral and written testimony, and served as a media spokesperson. I have thoroughly reviewed LD 924, relating to informed consent standards. I am testifying in this proceeding as an expert in constitutional law and as an expert on laws requiring informed consent before abortion. I appreciate this opportunity to testify as to the constitutionality of LD 924 and the vital importance of informed consent legislation. To assist you in evaluating LD 924, I am providing specific testimony on 1) the comparison of LD 924 and the current law; 2) the constitutionality of LD 924 , including the U.S. Supreme Court’s continued affirmation of the states’ interests in such laws and its conclusion that informed consent protects women; 3) the inherent harms of abortion that LD 924 seeks to avert and that women want information about these risks; and 4) the current status of similar laws across the nation.
