Maryland Democrats Release New Video Hitting Republican Larry Hogan’s Anti-abortion Record
The Maryland Democratic Party today released a new video highlighting Republican Larry Hogan’s refusal to protect abortion rights. Hogan, who was handpicked to run for Senate by Mitch McConnell, would turn the Senate majority over to Republicans to pass a nationwide abortion ban.
Here’s a transcript:
WBAL’s Jayne Miller: Governor Larry Hogan has largely been able to avoid the abortion debate, but this year he did take a position against this bill to expand access to abortion.
Axios’ Sophia Cai: Would you vote to codify Roe into federal law?
Hogan: I think that’s what we’re gonna have to take a look at that as we move forward—
Axios’ Sophia Cai: So is that yes?
Hogan: Whether it’s needed or not.
Axios’ Sophia Cai: Yes or no?
Hogan: No, it wasn’t a yes or no [Hogan laughs].
Axios’ Sophia Cai: Very clearly it wasn’t. All right.
CNN Voiceover: Dodged when asked whether he’d vote to codify Roe v. Wade.
Hogan: I’m not going to talk about speculation over specific wording of a specific bill, but we’ll talk about that during the election.
