Let me say a word about the title of this blog post. I included the words "post birth" because in fact all abortion is infanticide. It makes no difference whatsoever if the infant is inside or outside his/her mother's womb. Yes, I said the word mother. Among the more ridiculous aspects of SB 669 is the attempt to be "woke" about gender-specific language. Thus "mother" is replaced by "pregnant person" and all feminine pronouns are likewise jettisoned. Silly as that is, it is trivial compared to the danger that it poses to every baby in Maryland, born or unborn.
Both these bills must be combatted at the legislative level. Frankly, I don't trust Hogan to veto these. I'd be delighted to be proven wrong on that, but let's work to keep these things from reaching his desk.
