ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Proponents of a bill to require hospitals and abortion providers to report the number of pregnancies they terminate say the measure would improve women's healthcare.
The bill, which the state Senate Finance Committee considered Wednesday, would require the state Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to collect demographic information including the age, race and marital status of women treated in Maryland.
Sen. Barry Glassman, a Harford County Republican and the bill's sponsor, says collecting the data would help the state better assess pregnancy rates.
