Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan vetoed a measure that would expand access to abortion in the state by ending a restriction that only physicians can provide them.
The Republican governor, who isn't ruling out a run for the White House in 2024 after his second term ends early next year, wrote that the bill"endangers the health and lives of women by allowing non-physicians to perform abortions."
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. 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.
"These two bills are an example of poor legislative practice and misguided resources resulting in partisan politics; however I will allow them to pass into law in hopes they will generate future deliberation and discussion on this critically important issue," Hogan wrote. The bill includes a variety of provisions to cut emissions. For example, it would increase the state's electric vehicle fleet and reduce emissions from large buildings.
