Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan says he is 'pro-choice' and supports abortion rights
Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican, is casting himself as "pro choice," a significant shift from his earlier position on abortion.
Larry Hogan, who won the Republican nomination for Maryland's open Senate seat this week, is casting himself as "pro choice," marking a significant shift from his earlier position on abortion as he gears up for what is expected to be a competitive general election.
“I think Marylanders know and trust that when I give them my word, I’m going to keep it," Hogan told The New York Times on Thursday, saying he backs legislation to enshrine abortion rights in federal law. He also said he planned to vote to approve a measure set to appear on the state's ballot in November that would enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution.
In a post on X, Hogan also reiterated his pledge to support abortion rights.
“As governor, I protected the rights of Maryland women to make their own reproductive health decisions,” Hogan wrote. “I will do the same in the Senate by restoring Roe v. Wade as the law of the land. No one should come between a woman and her doctor.”
The comments are some of Hogan's strongest remarks on the topic.
