The latest from John

“In the wake of the 2022 Dobbs decision, state legislatures all over the United States have been passing legislation to limit women’s ability to make their own healthcare decisions and their right to choose. For years, Republicans in Harrisburg have been trying to enact the same restrictions here in Pennsylvania. I pledge my unwavering support for a woman’s right to choose. Pennsylvanians know that politicians aren't qualified to make these healthcare decisions for women, and that no law should take away someone’s freedom to make their own personal medical decisions. I am proud to be endorsed by groups like Planned Parenthood (PP Pennsylvania Advocates) who fight every day for the reproductive freedom that a vast majority of Pennsylvanians support!”

“Across the country, we have seen a calculated, consistent assault on women’s reproductive rights. In the wake of the 2022 Dobbs decision, state Legislatures all over the United States have been passing legislation to limit women’s ability to make their own healthcare decisions and their right to choose. For years, Republicans in Harrisburg have been trying to enact the same restrictions here in Pennsylvania. I pledge my unwavering support in favor of a woman’s right to choose.”

“Abortion IS Healthcare. Abortion IS a Right. Your body, your family & your path in life, should not be in the crosshairs of political powers with an agenda to control you. YOU have the RIGHT to CHOOSE, & you will continue to have my support to protect your rights here in PA.”

“On this day in 1973, exactly 50 years ago, the United States Supreme Court made the decision to rule abortions as a Constitutional right, securing the right to choose for everyone in America. Last June, the highest court in the land overturned #RoevWade. My thoughts : 1/4”
