Baltimore City Councilmembers Pledge To Protect Women’s Rights Following Supreme Court Ruling

The Baltimore City Council pledged on Tuesday to protect the women residing in the city and across the country. Reproductive rights were protected in Baltimore and will not change due to the Supreme Court’s recent overturning of Roe v. Wade. While Maryland and Baltimore are areas where abortion is still legal, many states have now made abortion illegal due to the recent court ruling. Baltimore is aware that other state residents may come to the city seeking medical care. “Pound for pound, we are one of the scrappiest and most compassionate places in America,” City Councilman Zeke Cohen said.
