Amendment on abortion doesn’t advance in Maryland

Full story here, note this is from March 25, 2022 on AP, by reporter Brian Witte. Because nothing could go wrong here in Maryland, right? We all remember when Texas was solidly Democratic and Ann Richards was the governor. And when Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas. So, as long as Democrats control the general assembly now, nothing will ever change and our abortion rights are safe forever.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — A proposal to enshrine the right to abortion in the Maryland Constitution failed to advance in the Maryland Senate on Friday, though other measures to expand access to providers moved forward.

After legislation received preliminary approval in the Senate to expand abortion access in the state, Senate President Bill Ferguson said those measures would be “the only time we take up this issue this session.”

“I know there are lots of other possible ideas out there. I think this is the issue that we will take on for this session,” Ferguson, a Baltimore Democrat, told his colleagues at the end of the Senate’s Friday session.
