For more information about the pro-choice voting record of incumbents, refer to our legislative score card. If a candidate does not appear on the guide, it is because the candidate either 1) are anti-choice, 2) are not fully pro-choice, or 3) chose not to complete the questionnaire. If you have any questions about the guide, please don’t hesitate to call the NARAL Pro-Choice Maryland office at (301) 565-4154. An endorsed candidate must: 1. Support Chapter 1 of the Laws of Maryland 1991, which codified Roe v. Wade in the State of Maryland; 2. Support public funding of abortion services, with no restrictions, for women who rely upon state/federal programs for health care. 3. Support current law which allows post-viability abortions in order to save the life or health of the women or if the fetus is affected by genetic defect or serious abnormality. 4. Oppose any measure that would restrict access to abortion, including but not limited to parental consent and notification legislation, waiting periods, informed consent laws, and any measure that would foster harassment and obstruction of clinics. In addition, the candidate must have a viable campaign, a pro-choice slate if participating in a slate, and complete the 2018 NPCM PAC Candidate Questionnaire. .
