“The recent case about Mifepristone has nothing to do with science or medicine. This is the latest in a long-running effort by anti-choice Republicans to put the government in charge of our bodies and ban all abortion.”

“Republicans are using the courts to sidestep the will of the American people & decimate abortion care in all 50 states. Americans are strongly pro-choice & already rejected their extreme agenda at the ballot box last fall. (Remember Kansas?!)”

“This fight is far from over. Here in Pennsylvania, pro-choice champions like me are working to protect our right to healthcare, including the right to abortion care, and we will not stop until abortion is permanently safe & legal in PA & across the nation.”
