Democrats Angela Alsobrooks and Gov. Wes Moore took aim at Republican Larry Hogan’s record on abortion access in a recent appearance at Bowie State University, saying that his support of it as a U.S. Senate candidate is nothing but a political move.
“He switched his position,” Alsobrooks told reporters after the campaign event. She went on to say that Hogan, who has now promised to codify Roe v. Wade, refused to make that same commitment “just this year” when asked directly during the primary season.
Gov. Moore, in a speech to students and other attendees at the event, said that voting yes on this year’s abortion-rights ballot initiative and also voting for Hogan means that you “canceled your vote.”
But Hogan says that Alsobrooks’ campaign has mischaracterized the nuances of his stance.
“It’s all nonsense,” Hogan told Capital News Service in an exclusive interview. “We have the same position. So, she’s just lying.”
Hogan went on to say that he feels that the way his position on this specific issue has been portrayed by the Alsobrooks campaign is “shameful and disgraceful,” and is meant to scare women and make up his positions and his record.
