Republican U.S. Senate candidate Larry Hogan has a well-documented, extensive anti-abortion record in Maryland. Throughout his administration, Hogan repeatedly took action to oppose reproductive rights in the Free State, and as a Senate candidate he repeatedly refused to support legislation protecting Roe v. Wade and IVF while saying he will caucus with Republicans and give them the majority they need to pass a national abortion ban.

From Maryland Democratic Party Spokesperson Lindsay Reilly:
“Larry Hogan’s made clear: he’s a proud Republican recruited by Mitch McConnell to give them the majority to pass a national abortion ban and he has a long record of opposing reproductive freedom. That’s why he vetoed legislation to protect abortion access in Maryland. He’s not fooling anyone with this weak attempt to cover up the threat he poses to a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions”
