Kathy Cornwell
Maryland ranks 10th overall in the country for women’s health when considering certain factors like living standards, health care policies and safety. Maryland ranked fifth in safety which looks at rates of female suicide, depression and rape victimization. Jessica Lee, with the University of Maryland School of Medicine, credits the state with letting women handle pregnancy the way they choose…
“Maryland makes it easy for a person to manage their desire to be pregnant in whatever way they wish, making sure that contraception is a covered benefit to anyone on state Medicaid, as well as any private insurer that operates in the state.”
