PENNSYLVANIA – In light of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe V. Wade, Pennsylvania Democratic Party Vice-Chair Peggy Grove has issued the following statement:
“The Supreme Court’s decision is a result of Republicans’ unprecedented and unpopular attacks on reproductive rights. This decision only stands to embolden extreme Republicans — including right here in Pennsylvania where Republican candidate for Governor Doug Mastriano and Republican candidate for Senate Mehmet Oz are hellbent on taking away Pennsylvanians’ rights. Continued attacks on abortion access, birth control and women’s health care have made it crystal clear that out-of-touch Republicans are coming for our fundamental freedoms.
“Our only way to fight this ruling is to elect Josh Shapiro as our next governor, protect the Democratic Senate majority by flipping Pennsylvania’s Senate seat and making John Fetterman our next Senator, and send representatives to Harrisburg who value a woman’s right to choose. Reproductive freedoms and access to health care are absolutely on the ballot this November — and Republicans’ unprecedented attacks on reproductive rights are making clear that the stakes couldn’t be higher.”
