- Here's the text of Maryland's ballot question, if anyone's interested.
- Note that it is *not* the text of the law itself; it's merely the
- explanation that was put on the ballot.
-
- Question Number 6
- Statewide Referendum
- Abortion Law Revision
-
- Revises Maryland's abortion law to prohibit State interference with
- woman's abortion decision before fetus is viable, or, under certain
- conditions, at any time and to provide certain exceptions to the
- requirement that a physician notify an unmarried minor's parent or
- guardian prior to minor's abortion; repeals pre-abortion information
- requirements about abortion alternatives; repeals some, and clarifies
- other, provisions related to abortion referral; requires that
- abortions be performed by licensed physicians; provides good-faith
- immunity under certain conditions to physicians performing abortions;
- authorizes State to adopt abortion regulations; repeals certain
- penalty and disciplinary provisions related to the performance of
- abortions.

-
- First *I've* heard. Maryland has a sizable Catholic population, but I
- doubt it's anywhere near a majority. (But I'm unable to find any
- statistics.) Rhode Island is the state with the highest proportion of
- Catholics. Maryland was founded as a Catholic colony, by Cecil
- Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore; but that was back in 1634.
