2. Hundreds of pro-abortion rights protesters descended on the Eastern Prom in Portland prior to the city’s July Fourth fireworks in an effort to keep abortion rights top of mind, and to highlight what they believe is the loss of independence for women on Independence Day.
3. Black bears are wandering into residential areas in Maine and New Hampshire in search of their next meal. Lewiston Police reported several bear sightings last month. Even though black bear attacks are rare, game wardens advise you to stay inside and keep your distance.
