A 22-year-old man sitting in the back seat of a cruiser with his hands handcuffed behind his back in Dexter, Maine managed to maneuver his hands to the front of his body, squirm through an 11-inch-by-11-inch window in the partition, get into the driver's seat and take off, police said.
He then ditched the cruiser and stole another car, at one point leading police on a 100-miles-an-hour chase, before crashing after driving over spiked mats police put out, according to the Bangor Daily News.
The state of Maine doesn't provide public money for abortions, but abortion providers want the Maine Supreme Judicial Court to rule that the state must.
The plaintiffs are the three abortion clinics in Maine. The executive director of one of them issued a press release arguing that it's unfair for the state to use public money to help pregnant women who want to have their babies but not use public money to help pregnant women who want to abort their babies.
