Legislation to create a “fundamental right” to abort unborn babies advanced in the Maryland House on Wednesday despite a flood of opposition from state residents.
WYPR Baltimore reports the House likely will vote on final passage of the constitutional amendment, House Bill 705, later this week and send it to the state Senate for consideration.
Maryland already allows unborn babies to be aborted for any reason up to birth, but the proposed constitutional amendment would make it more difficult for future state legislatures to pass any protections for unborn babies and mothers against abortion.
If the legislature passes the amendment and voters approve it on the 2024 ballot, the Maryland Constitution would include a “fundamental right to reproductive freedom,” including abortion, and ban state from “denying, burdening or abridging” that right.
Maryland Right to Life already has witnessed a flood of opposition to the bill, noting a record-breaking 5,253 messages to lawmakers in just one day at the end of February. Then, on Feb. 27, more than 1,000 pro-life advocates gathered in the rain in Annapolis for a rally urging lawmakers to protect unborn babies.
Laura Bogley, executive director of Maryland Right to Life, urged lawmakers to reject the bill during a state Health and Government Operations Committee hearing Feb. 21, saying Americans’ “unalienable right to life” includes unborn babies.
“This bill is not about protecting a woman’s right to choose abortion,” Bogley said. “This bill is about protecting the profits of the multi-billion dollar abortion empire at the expense of women’s health and safety.”

May every politician who approved it burn in hell.
A substantial portion of the national population are Satanists. Further proof right here.
The “Purge” is coming soon. Prepare accordingly.
( Progressives have chosen an ideology of total warfare,” Ian Tuttle writes in National Review. “They aren’t satisfied with compromise. They aren’t satisfied with surrender. They aren’t satisfied until they are roaming the conquered countryside shooting survivors.”)
What does Larry Hogan think?
Upsetting to pro-life, but this is always what overturning Roe v. Wade was going to look like. Isnt that what everyone wanted? Focus on on pro-life red states.
Infanticide is a high holy sacrament of the Demonrat Moloch worshippers.
Yeah, blood sacrifice...its powerful
If woe unto them who call good evil and evil good, means anything, they need to invest in flame retardant underwear. 👍
I believe that is exactly what Rush used to say.
Michigan Ballot Proposal 3 which passed strongly in November, 2022 guarantees this abomination. Some said it was the future model for other states to look for wording.
I personally see no way out by lawsuit or exceptions or other laws. They will be declared unconstitutional later. IMO.
I hate the people of Michigan, my state, for doing this.
That is probably the prevailing sentiment in Maryland. Time to split it up. Upheaval is coming no matter what. Best to get some boundaries drawn sooner rather than later.
Lord Baltimore must be spinning in his grave.
Completely accurate.
Will enough people realize this before it has gone to far to stop? We may have already passed that point.
Nope. We have already passed the point of no return on that one. We have crossed the Rubicon.
I hate this State.
He's no longer governor - Wes Moore is - who made a BIG DEAL of his "Christian" affiliation. (Sworn in on the Bible, Convocation from Bishop Donte L. Hickman, Sr., Pastor of Southern Baptist Church, Baltimore on his inauguration ..), etc...
Rubicon crossed. Unfortunately, The “Progressives” historically follow the same old playbook. No surprises in store.
Some people do not perceive God’s judgment.
Maybe it takes hyper-inflation, no one wanting to fight for the US, foreigners taking over the land, and perhaps a massive EMP attack that turns the OFF button on the United States until total collapse.
Pray for a sweeping revival in this nation and across the globe.
