According to the Portland Press Herald, the red, white, and blue message written on the sidewalk stated: “Susie, please, Mainers want WHPA —–> vote yes, clean up your mess.” The dot in the “I” of Maine had been replaced with the drawing of a uterus and Fallopian tubes.”
Police replied to Collins’ Bangor, Maine residence right after 9 pm and filed a report, declaring they did a check and didn’t find anyone on the property.
The police deemed the display was not a crime, and Public Works employees came to wash the message away.

Collins voted to confirm Kavanaugh in 2018 after she announced he assured her that he respected legal precedents and would not let his personal views on abortion cloud his decisions. She stated last week that Kavanaugh and Gorsuch’s backing of the court’s draft opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito, which is not a final decision, was “inconsistent” with their previous statements to her.
