ANNAPOLIS, Md. – This morning during its scheduled voting session, the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee killed HB 380 that would have allowed for condoms to be sold in vending machines in nursery schools, preschools and elementary schools. Over the past week, the bill had gained national attention.
Republican members of the committee led the effort leading to the decisive vote to kill the bill.
“This is a victory for parents across Maryland,” said Senator Mike McKay (Allegany, Garrett & Washington). “I am proud of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for swiftly voting this down and recognizing that it was wholly inappropriate and a massive overreach of state government.”
“It’s absolutely unconscionable that this bill passed the House,” said Senator William Folden (Frederick). “I’m thankful common sense prevailed today, and the bill was killed, but unfortunately, bills like this are concerning and are becoming the norm in Maryland.”
Some people have lost their minds
does Maryland have the courage to do this? Set a ceiling on the maximum # of abortions it has? Whos going to be the 1st state to do this? A state has an interest in its population.
lesson learned: whoever sponsored the bill, thats what they’re capable of.
