Maryland lawmakers voted over the weekend to override Gov. Larry Hogan's veto of a bill that would allow health practitioners outside of physicians — including nurse practitioners, midwives and physician's assistants — to perform abortions.
Maryland House members voted 90-46 on Saturday to reverse the governor's decision, while state Senate members voted 29-15.
Hogan is a Republican, while the majority of both the state's chambers are Democrats. The bill will now become law and take effect on July 1.

The Maryland Health Department may not disclose who is participating in the program. The contracted organization, which must be a nonprofit and have previous experience coordinating abortion programs, must submit an annual report to the health department."...
