Maryland lawmakers override Governor Larry Hogan's veto of abortion expansion
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan’s (R) veto of a measure to expand access to abortion in the state was overridden on Saturday by the General Assembly, which is controlled by Democrats.
The state will end a restriction that only physicians can provide abortions. The new law will enable nurse practitioners, nurse midwives and physician assistants to provide them with training. It creates an abortion care training program and requires $3.5 million in state funding annually. It also requires most insurance plans to cover abortions without cost.
Hogan, in his veto letter, wrote that the legislation “endangers the health and lives of women by allowing non-physicians to perform abortions.”
“In this context, it’s very important that we keep in mind that the strategies that this bill is using is ensuring that people can access the care that they need, when they need it, no matter what happens with the rest of the country — no matter what happens with the Supreme Court,” said Del. Ariana Kelly, a Democrat who was the lead sponsor of the bill, said.

I read that wrong way around. I guess it's a good thing. I had it backward.
Got all worked up - just to find out it was done 'the right way!'
I was all set to lose faith in yet another bunch of citizens!
Sorry, Maryland!
You keep doing what America should be all about! 
Glad to hear I am not alone. I'm getting so conditioned to endless bad news, it is affecting how I read headlines.
