Kelly: Maryland’s new abortion law leads the way for pro-choice states

We didn’t want this day to come. But the Maryland legislature prepared for it. The leaked draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization has made clear the extreme conservative majority on the Supreme Court intends to overturn nearly 50 years of progress on women’s reproductive health. Instead of moving backward, Maryland is committed to moving ahead to improve reproductive health and rights — for Maryland women and our neighbors. As we took on these preparations, our vision was to use this unwanted opportunity to improve reproductive health outcomes.
