When West Virginia lawmakers passed their sweeping abortion ban, several members of the Republican majority said they hoped it would force the Women's Health Center of West Virginia to shut down. Republican Sen. Robert Karnes said he believed shuttering the center was"going to save a lot of babies." Brandon Steele, a Republican in the state's House of Delegates, called abortion access"a scar" and"a curse" lawmakers had to"remove from this land.
The Women's Health Center of Maryland will provide abortion services into the second trimester and will accept Maryland Medicaid, which covers abortion. It will also offer annual exams, contraception, testing and treatment for sexually-transmitted diseases, as well as breast and cervical cancer screenings.
Maryland has a Democratic governor and a Democratic-controlled General Assembly that has shown commitment to preserving abortion access. Abortion is legal in Maryland until about 24 weeks into pregnancy. Renovations started last week on the Cumberland clinic — crews were installing new medical equipment and signage, deep cleaning, applying fresh paint, replacing floors and patching drywall.
