“Abortion care remains safe and legal in PA, but we must continue to protect and expand access. These intimate healthcare decisions should be between a patient and their doctor, not their legislators.”

“A year ago today, millions of people lost the freedom to decide whether, when, and how to have a family. As we reflect on the impact of the Dobbs decision, let’s recommit to the fight for reproductive healthcare for all, including abortion care.”

“The numbers are clear: most of us who call PA home want the freedom to decide whether, when, and how to have a family, not for legislators to make those choices for us. My colleagues in the @PaSenateDems and I will continue fighting so that abortion remains safe and legal to all.”

“Any decision by the Supreme Court to take away healthcare and an individual's bodily autonomy is, in our opinion, a violation of the Supreme Court’s authority and interpretation of our Constitution.”
