A Republican lawmaker in Maine was censured by his colleagues after implying that the deadliest mass shooting in the state's history was punishment from God for a recently passed abortion law. During debate on a bill on reproductive and gender-affirming care on the House floor Wednesday, state Rep. Michael Lemelin called the legislation 'the purest form of evil' and then compared it to Legislative Document 1619, a bill to expand abortion access that went into effect in October.
A gunman killed 18 people in two separate locations, and a nationwide manhunt ensued before he was found dead two days later. An independent commission put together by Gov. Janet Mills found that local law enforcement should have been able to confiscate the shooter's guns and take him into protective custody weeks before the shooting.
