The Maryland Legislature is considering an anti-abortion bill that would prohibit public funding of essential reproductive health care services.
Please take a few moments to urge your legislators to oppose this bill (HB 834) and support such funding.
Legislation designed to curb access to abortion services aims to codify into law beliefs not based on science or morality, but on religion and so-called holy books. The Christian Right has been and remains the primary opponent to women’s reproductive rights. We must make certain that our lawmakers do not abandon the safety and autonomy of some of the most vulnerable Marylanders in favor of religious dogma.
The House Appropriations Committee has a hearing scheduled on Wednesday, Feb. 17, at 1:30 p.m. Click on the red “Take Action” link below to contact all members of this committee and urge them to protect access to reproductive health care services.
