Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan has vetoed a measure that would expand access to abortion in the state
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan talks to reporters after signing a measure to enact a new congressional map on Monday, April, 4, 2022 for the state’s eight U.S. House seats. The Republican governor signed legislation for a new map approved by the Democrat-controlled General Assembly last week, after a judge struck down the initial map on March 25 after describing it as a “product of extreme partisan gerrymandering.” ANNAPOLIS, Md. — — Maryland Gov.
Supporters say Maryland does not have enough abortion providers for the needs of the state. They have pointed out that many counties do not have a single provider. The bill would remove a legal restriction preventing nurse practitioners, nurse midwives and physician assistants from providing abortions. It would create an abortion care training program and requires $3.5 million in state funding annually.
The measure aimed at slowing climate change would speed up Maryland’s current goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from 40% of 2006 levels to 60% by 2031. It also sets a goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2045 in the state. That means at least as much carbon would be removed from the atmosphere as what’s being emitted.
