Abortion is legal in Maryland. So why is there a ballot question about it?

Maryland has some of the strongest abortion protections in the country, a longstanding Democratic supermajority in the state legislature, and a governor who proclaimed the state a “safe haven” for the procedure. Now, voters will decide whether to add yet another safeguard. If Question 1 passes on a simple majority Nov. 5, it would enshrine a right to reproductive freedom in the state constitution.
