“You can’t plan for a blatantly false or unconstitutional court ruling like this [Supreme Court decision on the Texas abortion law],” said Representative Conor Lamb of Pennsylvania, a Democrat who is running for his state’s open Senate seat next year.

Pro-choice health care providers, activists, and legislators are now responding to the Supreme Court’s decision late Wednesday night.

How can the White House, the Congress, and state legislatures preserve a woman’s right to choose?

In Maryland, we did so thirty years ago.

Anticipating a case where the Court would weaken or eliminate the constitutional protections for abortion, we passed legislation that preserved the holding of Roe v. Wade in Maryland law.

Before a fetus is viable – capable of sustained survival outside the womb, the government may not intervene.

When the fetus is viable, an abortion can be performed in only a limited set of circumstances.

I was one of the leaders of this effort in the House of Delegates.

Next year, we will continue to protect the right to choose for all women, whatever their economic status.
