LEARN MORE HERE about why Maryland Right to Life is opposed to the so-called "Pregnant and Parenting Student Support Act":

MDRTL is opposed to Senate Bill 511/House Bill 840 Public Senior Higher Education Institutions - Pregnant and Parenting Students - Plan Requirements (Pregnant and Parenting Student Support Act).  Maryland Right to Life supports any policy that will empower pregnant students to choose life for their children.  However, this bill would require colleges and universities to develop a plan to refer pregnant students to on-campus and off-campus abortion services and direct students to available abortion funding.

Federal Title IX requires any educational institution that receives federal funds to provide accommodation for pregnant students regardless of whether they intend to give birth or have an abortion.  While the bill may allow some worthwhile concessions for parenting students, like private lactation spaces or referral to financial assistance programs, it will likewise require colleges to establish plans to coordinate abortion services and financial assistance for abortion. This is why similar bills introduced in Maryland have been supported by NARAL (National ABORTION Rights Action League). 

Abortion activists like Planned Parenthood are already entrenched on college campuses due to Title IX and receive taxpayer funding due to a recent state law that requires the coordination of abortion services on college campuses.  This bill will induce all colleges to promote abortion using existing taxpayer funding.  

The State of Maryland is highly invested in the abortion industry and will not refer students or coordinate services with pro-life organizations and pregnancy resource centers because these providers do not perform or refer women for abortions - what the state requires as "comprehensive reproductive care".  All attempts to include pro-life service providers have been consistently rejected by the state legislature and the Maryland Department of Health and would undoubtedly be excluded or neglected under this bill.

Pregnant and parenting students deserve our support, but we cannot allow NARAL to define policy which will give them undue influence over vulnerable pregnant students and their babies. Pregnant students do not need to choose between their children and their education.   We must protect them from abortion coercion on campus.
