BALTIMORE — After the Maryland House of Delegates approved the bill last week, the Senate passed Tuesday its companion bill to create a referendum on enshrining a right to abortion in the state constitution.
Each chamber needs to approve the other’s bill before Maryland voters can expect to see the question on their ballots in the 2024 election. But with overwhelming support thus far in the House and Senate, such passage appears very likely.
The Senate gave its legislation final approval Tuesday morning on a vote of 32-15. The House passed its bill Friday on a vote of 99-37.
