Advocacy
Maryland Right to Life makes it easy for Marylanders to stay informed and become actively involved in the state legislative process. During the Maryland General Assembly’s legislative session from mid-January through April and during special sessions, we mobilize concerned citizens to take action by contacting their elected representatives and submitting testimony on proposed bills.
There are several ways YOU can help shape public policy in the state of Maryland.

2. Contact Your Legislators
Your state and federal elected officials need to hear from you. Office visits, phone calls, written letters, emails, social media posts, letters to the editor, and showing up at lobby days are all effective means of urging your elected representatives to support or oppose specific pieces of legislation.

3. Submit Your Testimony
Testimony is used during sessions of Maryland’s General Assembly. Both written and oral testimonies come from a variety of people: doctors, nurses, legal experts, social workers, and expert witnesses (such as a regular citizen with a notable personal experience relating to the bill topic).
Do you have a compelling pro-life story to share? We are always looking for people to submit written and/or oral testimony in support of pro-life legislation (or in opposition to anti-life legislation).
Some of the most pressing topics include assisted suicide, conscience protections and freedom of speech, abortion drugs and coercion, taxpayer funding of abortion, pregnancy help centers, parental involvement for minors, informed consent, and protecting born-alive abortion survivors.
