The bill also removes criminal penalties for committing an elective late-term abortion without the necessary license and changes reporting standards to eliminate identifying information about a woman who obtains an abortion and only require details about the date, location, and method of the act, as well as the age of the baby when he or she is killed.

"Maine law should recognize that every pregnancy, like every woman, is different, and that politicians cannot and should not try to legislate the wide variety of difficult circumstances pregnant women face," Mills said before signing the radical law.

Maine now joins the ranks of the states Colorado, Alaska, Oregon, New Jersey, Vermont, and New Mexico, which also effectively permit the killing of babies in abortions at any point up until birth for any reason.

A letter to the editor of centralmaine.com has decried the legislation as "the most severe and barbaric attack on life" that Maine has "witnessed thus far."
