Let’s meet

Lisa Baker

State Senator,
Pennsylvania Senate District 20

Republican

After a consistently anti-choice legislative record, Lisa appears to have changed course (inconsistently) in recent years. Her support of the current Abortion Control Act earns her an "Anti-Choice-Ish" label.

The mixed signals:

Lisa voted against a bill that prohibits abortions because of the prenatal diagnosis of down syndrome.

Review Bill

Lisa sponsored a bill to prohibit almost all abortion coverage under health insurance plans purchased in PA’s ACA exchange.

Review Bill

Take Action

What to do now:

Tell Lisa how important it is that we codify the right to an abortion:

This legislator seems to believe that abortion rights are fine as-is, even after the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

What to say:

Call your legislator and push them to vote to protect abortion rights. They may be open to switching positions if they hear enough from their constituents.

  • Introduce yourself, including your relation to the district.
  • Emphasize your role in the local community.
  • Explain why it is important to you that the right to abortion be protected. Personal stories can help.
  • Ask if they will commit to voting for any legislation that will protect the right to an abortion.
  • If they say no, ask if they will commit to voting against any legislation that will further limit access to abortion.
