HB930 establishes the Public Health Abortion Grant Program to provide state budget appropriation funds for authorized health care practitioners, and eligible organizations, to provide access to abortion services for uninsured, “underinsured”, or “at-risk” individuals.

The Maryland State House of Delegates passed HB930 on March 13, 2025, by a vote of 98 to 37. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this legislation creates a state-funded program to subsidize abortion services. Maryland should act to ban abortion, which violates the unalienable right to life endowed by God to every person. States have a duty to protect this most sacred right, as guaranteed by both the 5th and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.
