The Hogan for Maryland campaign today released the following statement from spokeswoman Blake Kernen in response to County Executive Alsobrooks’ partisan attacks on Governor Hogan:
“County Executive Alsobrooks is entitled to her own opinions but not her own facts. Governor Hogan protected choice in Maryland for eight years, funding access to abortion in the budget every year and being the first governor in America to provide over-the-counter birth control paid for by Medicaid. He said in 2019, Roe was rightly decided and has been on the record against a national abortion ban since 1992. He rightly vetoed legislation to allow non-licensed medical professionals to perform abortions because that would have lowered health care standards for women. In the Senate, instead of playing politics with this issue, he will work to reinstate Roe v. Wade as the law of the land. Marylanders know that when Governor Hogan gives his word, he keeps it, and that is why voters continue to reject these same tired, false, and fear-mongering attacks.”
