GOVERNOR ANNOUNCES SUPPORT FOR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS BILLS

Governor Wes Moore says he wants to ensure Maryland is a safe haven for abortion rights long after he is in office.  Moore met with Democratic legislative leaders today and pledged his support for a package of abortion rights bills.  House Speaker Adrienne Jones is sponsoring a measure that would enshrine the right to an abortion in the state constitution.  If the legislation passes, voters would be asked to approve a referendum protecting access to an abortion on the 2024 ballot.
