Question 6 was a voter referendum to allow voters to approve or reject a law passed by the Maryland General Assembly in 1991 to codify the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade. The referendum was approved by 61.7% of voters on November 3, 1992.

A draft of the referendum language had been sent to both pro-choice and pro-life groups by Maryland Attorney General J. Joseph Curran Jr. to prevent controversy over the wording of the question. He asked the groups to comment on the draft by June 19, 1992, and, after receiving feedback, rewrote the question to use "less cryptic" language. The ballot language was revised for a third and final time before being submitted to the Maryland Secretary of State to appear on the general election ballot.

After the language was approved, the Vote kNOw Coalition filed a lawsuit asking for the ballot language to be rewritten. Judge Bruce C. Williams rejected the language and ordered the attorney general to rewrite the ballot wording in a ruling that was later struck down by the Maryland Court of Appeals.

The ballot measure read as follows:

Question 6
