Baltimore Will Force Residents to Fund Abortions With Their Tax Dollars
Maryland abortion facilities soon will be able to rake in more money for their life-destroying practices through new grants from the City of Baltimore.
FOX 45 News reports Mayor Brandon Scott and the Baltimore Civic Fund announced the taxpayer-funded grants this week while claiming killing unborn babies in abortions is “freedom.”
“As so many parts of the country are pulled backwards by conservative activists hoping to eliminate reproductive freedom, here in Baltimore City, we will always stand in strong support of comprehensive reproductive health care,” Scott said in a statement.
The city program offers up to $30,000 in grants to help nonprofit abortion facilities and pro-abortion organizations hire more staff and assist women with travel expenses for elective abortions.
The Baltimore City Council approved the Abortion Protection Fund last year in response to the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. This is the second round of grants.
In 2022, city leaders awarded funding to five abortion groups in the Baltimore area, some receiving as much as $50,000, according to the report.
District 10 Councilwoman Phylicia Porter, who voted for the program, asserted that women need to abort their unborn babies to be healthy and free.

“Together, we must advocate for policies that promote reproductive freedom and ensure that everyone can exercise control over their own reproductive choices,” Porter said in a statement this week. “By investing in these organizations, we are reinforcing our commitment to a healthier and more prosperous future reproductive health for all Baltimoreans.”
But abortions are not needed socially or medically. Tens of thousands of doctors confirm that killing unborn babies is not medical care, and every pregnancy involves two valuable patients: a mother and her child.
Maryland allows abortions for basically any reason up to birth. The state does not require abortion facilities to report their abortion numbers, but Maryland Right to Life estimates nearly 30,000 unborn babies are aborted there every year.
Ignoring women’s needs and their unborn babies’ lives, Democrat politicians across the country have been spending massive amounts of time and money to keep killing unborn babies in elective abortions. Many are using tax dollars to pay for elective abortions, abortion travel, scholarships for medical students to become abortionists, security for abortion facilities and more.
In doing so, they are neglecting the real needs of pregnant mothers, most of whom seek abortions because they struggle to find support. A new study published in the journal Cureus found two thirds of women seeking abortions would have chosen life if they had better support.
Meanwhile, pro-life Republican lawmakers are working to expand support services to help parents and save unborn babies from abortion. This week, U.S. Congressional Republicans introduced the Providing For Life Act to expand child tax credits to unborn babies, create better workplace accommodations for parents and invest in community-based aid programs for pregnant and parenting families.
