In a campaign ad, former governor of Maryland and Republican Senator Larry Hogan ( R ) made the promise to codify Roe v. Wade , allowing women to make their “own choice.”
” As government, I promised to preserve Maryland regulation and pregnancy, while providing over- the- counter delivery control covered by insurance. And, I kept my word”, Hogan began in a campaign video campaign posted to X. ” Immediately, with Roe overturned, many have asked what I’ll do in the United States Senate. I’ll help legislation that makes Roe the supreme law in every position, allowing each woman to make her own decision.
Hogan’s comments come nearly two years after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in the Dobbs case, ruling that the US Constitution did not specifically state a right to abortion. Following the Supreme Court’s 5-4 determination, the issue of contraception and abortion laws were handed back to the states and the people.
As Governor, I promised to defend Maryland rules on abortion—and I kept my expression.
No one should stand in the way of a woman’s [pic ] picture, so I’m going to support legislation in the Senate that makes Roe the law of the land, in every state, so that every woman gets the reproductive care she needs. twitter.com/xHwA2HpxxP

The original Maryland governor has endorsed regulations that would codify Roe v. Wade and said he favors it.
Hogan stated in an interview with the New York Times on Thursday that he would” help restoring Roe as the law of the land.”
Hogan stated in the meeting that” I’ll continue to support the right of women to create their own sexual decisions, just like I did as chancellor for eight years.” Connotations are aware and can be certain that I’ll keep my word, and that I’ve already protected these freedom, so I believe they are. And I’ll do it once more in the Senate by supporting a bipartisan agreement to reinstate Roe as the supreme court of the property.
Hogan’s campaign ad, which was first shared with Politico, is reportedly “part of a more than$ 1 million buy and will air on cable, broadcast and digital platforms” within the Washington, DC, and Baltimore areas, according to the outlet.
Hogan vetoed a bill that did permit people without medical training to have abortions in April 2022 while government.
