Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade in June 2022, many states have banned or severely limited abortion access. Maryland has taken steps to safeguard abortion rights and access during this time, including in May 2023, when Governor Moore signed reproductive rights measures into law to establish the fundamental right to reproductive freedom and shield health care providers from liability if they help out-of-state patients receive an abortion.
In Maryland, you have the legal right to receive the full spectrum of reproductive health care, including abortion care and contraception, free from harassment and discrimination. However, I’m still well aware that some Congressional lawmakers are fighting to establish a federal ban on abortion nationwide – preempting state law. As we face this unprecedented reproductive health care crisis, I’m here fighting with you and for you.
So our team has worked with the Pro-Choice Caucus and Planned Parenthood-Maryland to put together this page as a resource for those seeking more information about reproductive care in Maryland.
As a proud Member of the Congressional Pro-Choice Caucus, I’m committed to moving legislation forward to amplify the voices of those in Maryland and around the country demanding reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy. And I wear my 100% voting record with Planned Parenthood and Reproductive Freedom For All (formerly NARAL) as a badge of honor.
I am a proud original cosponsor of the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would codify the protections of Roe v. Wade and enshrine the national right to abortion into law. I’m also a proud sponsor of the Equal Access to Abortion Coverage in Health Insurance (EACH) Act, to eliminate the Hyde Amendment—a policy prohibiting all taxpayer funding for abortion care, blocking abortion care coverage for those who rely on federal government-sponsored or subsidized health insurance—to help ensure every American can access the full spectrum of health care, including abortion care, regardless of their income or the source of their insurance.
In Congress, we don’t need people who just accept the status quo of abortion rights; we need people who fight for them.
