Senator Greenip Fights to Halt Excessive Spending in the State Budget
Annapolis: Today, Senator Janet Greenip (R-33) offered three amendments to the $31 billion state budget during the State Senate’s debate. The amendments highlighted some of the unnecessary expenditures that have come to define our state government. “Whether it is paying for gardening on the side of state highways, printing copious amounts of higher education documents in Spanish, to funding pro-abortion groups, we have got to stand against unwise use of taxpayer’s dollars,” Senator Greenip said.

Greenip Supports Terminating Rapist’s Parental Rights, Endorses SB 516
Annapolis: Yesterday, Senator Janet Greenip (R-33) signed onto SB 516: Family Law – Denial of Paternity, Custody, and Visitation as a co-sponsor and withdrew similar legislation, SB 385, that she had filed to terminate a man’s parental rights when rape results in the conception of a child. “I’m supporting SB 516 and withdrawing mine because I believe it offers the broadest protections for both victims, the mother and child,” said Senator Greenip. “It is vital that a mother who has the courage to carry a baby to full term following conception by rape be able to raise that baby without any worry that the rapist will make a parental claim in the future. If the woman chooses adoption, she should not have to fear that her attacker will make any attempt to interfere.”
