Yesterday, a Scott Wagner co-sponsored bill was introduced that would defund Planned Parenthood and decrease women’s access to birth control and cancer screenings and treatments. Wagner is a also co-sponsor of SB 3, a bill that would criminalize abortion and deny women the right to make their own health care decisions.
“Scott Wagner is the worst kind of Harrisburg politician, and he is leading efforts in the legislature to strip health care options away from women,” said Beth Melena, Communications Director for the Pennsylvania Democratic Party. “Instead of focusing on policies that help hardworking Pennsylvanians, Scott Wagner is choosing to spend his time defunding Planned Parenthood and pushing the most anti-abortion restrictions in the country. Why is Scott Wagner so obsessed with limiting women’s rights?”
