Democratic candidates in Maryland hope to capitalize on the controversy over Sen. Lindsey Graham's proposed abortion ban in the United States.
Summary by NewsWall Apr 23 23
- Lindsey Graham's newly proposed countrywide abortion ban - an issue that Republicans in such a blue state may find politically difficult.
- "By introducing this legislation, Republicans have made clear that their true objective is the control of women's health decisions, not the defense of states' rights," Democratic Rep.
- Kweisi Mfume of Baltimore is running for his second full term in Congress, representing the 7th Congressional District.
- Mfume, on the other hand, warned the GOP's latest assaults on abortion rights would circumvent state legislation such as Maryland's, posing "a grave concern."

Arizona Republicans uphold 1864 abortion ban, Democrats still seek repeal: Democrats in the Arizona House of Representatives tried repeatedly to repeal an 1864 ...
reut.rs/4cVuayh
Quick Glance: Arizona Republicans foil another effort to repeal 1864 abortion ban
- Arizona House Republicans once again thwarted an attempt on Wednesday to repeal the state's nearly complete abortion ban from 1864, leaving Democrats without a vote on their repeal bill for the second consecutive week.
- Despite facing pressure from influential conservatives, such as former President Trump and Senate hopeful Kari Lake, urging GOP leaders to lift the ban, the Republicans blocked the repeal.
- State House Democrats made a procedural maneuver to attempt to suspend House rules and bring the repeal bill to the floor for discussion. However, this action was rejected by the GOP majority, with only one Republican, Representative Matt Gress, crossing party lines to support bringing up the repeal bill.
- A similar endeavor to repeal the ban was obstructed by Republicans last week. Following persistent criticism of the law by Democrats both within and outside the state throughout the week, prominent figures like Trump and Lake recognized the political risks and advocated for a change in direction within the Legislature.

Kansas governor vetoes ban on gender-affirming care for minors and 2 anti-abortion bills
apnews.com/article/transgender-care-abortion-pornography-kansas-7b4141984334258017da842a3542570c
Quick Glance: Kansas Governor Kelly Blocks Gender Confirmation for Minors
- Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, a Democrat, vetoed a bill on gender confirmation for minors, leading to conflict with Republican state lawmakers.
- The package of measures now goes back to the state Legislature, where the GOP majority is likely to have enough votes to override the governor's veto. Lawmakers are expected to return for a veto session on April 29.
- The proposed measure would ban gender-affirming care for trans and non-binary youth in Kansas, including puberty blockers and surgeries, although surgical procedures on children are rarely performed.
- The law would also allow lawsuits against doctors who would lose their licenses if they provide gender-affirming treatments to minors, and state funds like Medicaid would not be used for such treatments.
