Since 1974 – yes, for that long – the pro-life movement has been sponsoring the March for Life in Washington, D.C., and other places around the country.

Letter to the editor: Mainers, act now to keep legislators from killing ranked-choice voting
With our nation’s political situation resembling an ever-worsening nightmare, I am elated to see Maine voters holding fast to ranked-choice voting, a system that will finally replace “lesser of two evils” voting.
