Maryland Democratic Senate candidate says there should be no limit on abortion

Democratic Senate candidate Angela Alsobrooks took aim Wednesday at her Republican opponent, former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, over his position on abortion.

Alsobrooks spoke at an abortion rights rally, where she criticized Hogan's statements that abortion should be legal up to 26 weeks of pregnancy, the standard set by the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade. That decision was overturned in 2022, and now states can make their own laws regulating abortion, which has galvanized Democrats nationwide, who are campaigning to protect abortion access as Republicans seek to limit or ban the procedure.

"I don't believe that these decisions are ones that should be left to politicians," Alsobrooks told reporters Wednesday. "The decision about reproductive choice, about the freedom to access an abortion belongs to that women. And to her, it's a family decision. The woman, her family and her doctor. I believe politicians, Larry Hogan, ought to get out of the examination room."

When asked if there should be any cut-off on abortion access, Alsobrooks answered, "no."

"I believe the decision belongs to a woman and her doctor," she said, pointing to circumstances when a pregnant woman's life may be at risk without medical intervention.

Hogan, a moderate who served two terms as blue state Maryland's popular GOP governor, recently came out as "pro-choice" and has said the abortion issue should not be decided by "extremes" on both sides.

Women have lots of choices not to get pregnant.

There is a inhumane streak running through Angela Alsobrooks’ take on abortion. I sense it is the result of the competitive nature of these political races where the ends justifies what you say. What it does do is degrade the civil discipline needed for a law abiding society. I see Alsobrooks’ thinking about abortion in the same league as the Hamas putting babies in ovens and firing them up. What happened to the respect for innocent human life?

Some people, just like ol’ Angela here, just enjoy hurting children ... killing babies is just the icing on top.

If abortion is not banned or strictly controlled, then murder ultimately becomes legal.

I think every Democrat should have unlimited rights to abortion, suicide, and any other form of personal death like drug overdose.
Y’all get the idea?

Trump told Time magazine during an April interview. “Roe v. Wade … wasn’t about abortion as much as bringing it back to the states. So the states should negotiate deals.”

So there you go. Leave it to the states. Even if that means that they'll legalize abortion.

Angela Alsobrooks is 53. Is that too late for an abortion?

She is running against the biggest RINO in Maryland, former two-term Governor Larry Hogan. (Alsobrooks is the County Executive of Prince George’s County.)

Hogan has vowed to support “codifying Roe.”

He was way behind Anthony Brown in his first run for Governor but kept creeping closer and closer. He won.

He’s leading Alsobrooks in some polls.

Alsobrooks isn’t smart enough to understand that the abortion industry was established to eliminate people like her.

Sorry, Donald, but even though I’m probably the biggest Tenth Amendment guy this side of Tom Massie or Mark Levin, both the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments ban the taking of “life, liberty, or property without due process of law,” and the Fourteenth extends that prohibition to the states.

Why not just extend this to allow killing the kid up to 5 years of age? Probably reduce the number of abortions.
