Maryland Gov. Wes Moore officially launched his reelection campaign this month, promising safer communities, better schools, and economic growth. But beneath the polished slogans and presidential-style branding is a far more troubling reality: Moore has governed as one of the most ideologically progressive governors in America.

On issue after issue — abortion, parental rights, transgender policy, and taxpayer-funded activism — Moore has aligned himself not with ordinary Maryland families, but with the most aggressive demands of the cultural Left. As he asks voters for four more years, Marylanders should take a hard look at the record behind the rhetoric.

Start with abortion. Since the Dobbs decision, Moore has worked to transform Maryland into an abortion destination state. He backed a constitutional amendment to enshrine abortion access in the state constitution and supported a $25 million abortion expansion program funded through higher insurance assessments on Marylanders.

At a time when families are already struggling with inflation, housing costs, and rising healthcare premiums, Moore’s administration effectively told citizens they should subsidize the abortion industry’s political priorities as well.

Even many Democrats are uncomfortable with this........
