“What's happening in Texas is exactly what we must never allow to happen in Pennsylvania. It's cruel and inhumane. Abortion is legal in Pennsylvania and must be protected. No judge or elected official has the right to dictate health care decisions.”

“Following the overturning of #RoeVsWade on this day one year ago, state legislatures across the country raced to ban abortion. While abortion remains safe and legal in PA, we must recommit ourselves to protecting providers, removing barriers and expanding access to care.”

“In the middle of the night, a federal appeals court preserved access to mifepristone but imposed a 7-week restriction on the drug down from 10 weeks. This ruling upholds totally arbitrary restrictions on the most common abortion method in the U.S.”

“Yesterday would have been the 50th anniversary of #RoeVWade. Without Roe, state legislatures have become more important than ever. Abortion remains protected in PA, but we can't get complacent. We must continue to protect reproductive freedom.”

“This is just one small setback. As I've said before, #SB106 is just the beginning of what will be a persistent effort to roll back access to abortion in PA. Defeating this constitutional amendment is the first of many post-Roe fights to come.”

“When someone experiencing an unexpected pregnancy walks into a CPC, they expect to get real advice from licensed professionals. That's not the case. Among the falsehoods that've told patients is that having an abortion increases your chances of getting cancer.”

“The proposed amendment in #SB106 would remove the right to an abortion from the PA constitution. The endgame is banning abortion in PA. The majority won't say it out loud, but it's the truth. We can't get complacent.”

“Last night Kansas voters rejected a constitutional amendment that would've cleared the way for an abortion ban. Sounds familiar--right PA? Although the results in Kansas are promising, we need to continue to raise the alarm about what we're facing in PA. @PAWomensHealth #SB106”

“There is a direct correlation between states with strict abortion laws and higher rates of maternal mortality. This why we must go past preserving PA's current abortion access and expand access to contraception and all forms of reproductive healthcare.”

“Yesterday, @PAWomensHealth sent a letter to Gov. Wolf requesting that he sign an executive order protecting PA abortion providers from out-of-state-prosecution. Today, PA took action.”
