It is such a beautiful state, with such beautiful people. There is so much to do and so many people to love.
Maryland has not been a good place for the unborn, however, and the situation for them, legally, just keeps getting worse. It isn't that there is no one to stand up for them, because there is a strong community that has always worked very hard to fight for their rights. It is that the insanity that drives the abortion industry has many tentacles, which reach into the people who make our laws.
We have been able to beat back many of the worst, for instance the Physician Assisted Suicide bills that have been proposed, but with the US Supreme Court revisiting the evil of Roe vs Wade in a new case this summer, the state legislature has become inflamed with the ghastly desire to ensure that Maryland will remain a place that is one of the most dangerous for children, and now maybe not even only the unborn. Recently a bill was proposed that would prohibit the investigation of the death of a "perinatal" child for up to 28 days. That bill was pulled, but the very idea is heinous. It's co-legislation is almost as bad: https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/Legislation/Details/HB0626
The bill that is still alive, and looking to very possibly pass, HB1171, would make abortion a part of the state constitution, so that it can't be affected by the Supreme Court decision. This would also increase the participation of the citizens of Maryland, by funding abortion with taxpayer dollars. It can be found here:https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/Legislation/Details/hb1171
Maryland Right to Life has been very busy with many initiatives trying to bring awareness to the people of our state.
Last week we had a rally at the State House in Annapolis. I wish that a lot more people would have shown up. It was good to see the ones who did though.
We are praying very hard that this legislation will be defeated. I don't think we can live in this state if it isn't.
