On March 30, the Maryland General Assembly voted to place a constitutional amendment creating a right to abortion on the 2024 ballot.

Maryland is a heavily pro-abortion state, and the amendment is expected to pass at the ballot box.

Maryland legislators passed several other pro-abortion bills. One would protect abortionists from extradition to pro-life states if they break they break abortion laws. Another would hide abortion procedures in patient medical records.

Pro-abortion Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) has expressed his intent to sign both bills.

Three states have enacted constitutional amendments creating a right to abortion. These are California, Vermont, and Michigan. Connecticut is currently considering an amendment.
