Description
At issue in this case is the legality of an executive order promulgated by Lawrence Hogan, the County Executive of Prince George's County, Maryland, prohibiting the performance of abortions at all county-owned or operated hospitals unless necessary to save the life of the mother. The Circuit Court for Prince George's County (Chasanow, J.), acting upon declaratory judgment actions filed by the executive committee of a county hospital, a number of physicians, and a pregnant woman denied an abortion at a county hospital, enjoined enforcement of the executive order, declaring it null and void as constituting an exercise of ""policy and lawmaking powers specifically delegated to the County Council"" under the County Charter. The County Executive appealed to the Court of Special Appeals. We granted certiorari prior to decision by that court to consider the important issues raised in the case.
