Legislation
Maryland Right to Life, Inc. is a registered 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting life through legislative advocacy and grassroots engagement.
Maryland Right to Life is widely regarded as the preeminent authority on pro-life policy in Annapolis- a distinction we are honored to hold and a responsibility we take very seriously. We monitor, review, advise, and submit testimony on thousands of bills introduced in the Maryland General Assembly each year. We also draft pro-life bills, prepare model legislation, lobby lawmakers, attend committee hearings, track the voting records of each legislator, coordinate coalitions, organize lobby days, and make our case in the press.
Maryland Right to Life also equips citizens to participate in the legislative process. Each year, Maryland Right to Life mobilizes supporters from every corner of the state to make their voices heard, generating thousands of letters, emails, phone calls, and online messages to elected officials on proposals affecting the right to life.
Education
Maryland Right to Life Foundation, is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on education. We share the truth about abortion, infanticide, assisted suicide, and euthanasia. We inform and engage the public through events like the annual Maryland Right to Life Convention, publications, ad campaigns, op-eds, speaking engagements, fair booths, radio spots, social media, webinars, email bulletins, youth programs, and more!
Political Action
The Right to Life Political Action Committee (PAC) of Maryland is a separately incorporated nonpartisan political entity. Through this political arm, we work to elect pro-life candidates to public office in Maryland. Each election cycle, the Right to Life PAC of Maryland circulates questionnaires to state and local candidates and issues endorsements in key races. The PAC is not afraid to hold pro-abortion candidates accountable for their extreme voting records or statements.
The PAC trains candidates and campaign staffers on effective pro-life messaging and media strategies. We run voter registration drives and encourage active participation among our members in the democratic process.
When our pro-life grassroots supporters unite behind a candidate or campaign, they become a formidable and effective force of hard-working volunteers—the kind of team every campaign manager dreams of having.
