Reminder: Republican Larry Hogan’s Real Record Opposing Abortion Rights
On the two year anniversary of the Supreme Court overturning Roe, get the facts on Hogan’s anti-abortion rights record
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Larry Hogan has a well-documented and extensive record opposing abortion rights in Maryland. Personally recruited by anti-choice Republican Mitch McConnell and endorsed by Donald Trump, Hogan would turn control of the Senate over to Republicans who want to ban abortion nationwide.
Get the facts on Hogan’s anti-abortion rights record:
- Hogan vetoed measures to expand abortion access. CBS News: Maryland’s GOP Governor Larry Hogan vetoes bill to expand abortion access. “Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan vetoed a measure Friday that would expand access to abortion in the state by ending a restriction that only physicians can provide them and requiring most insurance plans to cover abortion care without cost.”
- Hogan refused to fund abortion providers in the wake of the Supreme Court’s leaked decision to overturn Roe. Axios: Maryland governor says he won’t release money for abortion training. “Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) said he will withhold $3.5 million in state funds budgeted to train new abortion providers in the state.”
- Hogan will not commit to supporting judges who will uphold abortion rights. New York Times: After winning Maryland’s Republican Party nomination, Hogan refuses to commit to opposing judges who would further threaten Marylanders’ reproductive rights. “On Thursday, Mr. Hogan said that he would not… use a judge’s prior rulings or views on abortion as a ‘litmus test’ when deciding whether to confirm nominees.”
- VIDEO: The day before the Maryland primary, Hogan once again refused to say he would support federal legislation codifying Roe v. Wade.
- AUDIO: Less than one week before the Maryland primary, Hogan refused to oppose a 15 week abortion ban during an interview with WTOP News.
From Maryland Democratic Party Spokesperson Lindsay Reilly: “Republican Larry Hogan is a threat to abortion rights. Recruited to run by Mitch McConnell and endorsed by Donald Trump, Hogan would turn control of the Senate over to Republicans so they can push forward their dangerous agenda, including a nationwide abortion ban.”
