Marylanders for
HEALTH not HARM
The Maryland "Reproductive Freedom" Amendment
Violates Fundamental Freedoms of Maryland Citizens
Removes Parental Rights
Decreases Health and Safety Standards
Increases Costs
Senator Simonaire offers an amendment to the Reproductive Freedom Amendment that would require parental consent for minors but this was rejected.
The Proposed Amendment Says:
“That every person, as a central component of an individual’s right to liberty and equality, has the fundamental right to reproductive freedom, including but not limited to the ability to make and effectuate decisions to prevent, continue, or end one’s own pregnancy. The State may not, directly or indirectly, deny, burden, or abridge the right unless justified by a compelling state interest achieved by the least restrictive means.”
