Pennsylvanians have the right to the care they need for themselves and their families. The recent instances across the country of mothers, at the risk of their lives, unable to access abortion services for wanted but non-viable pregnancies demonstrate the need to protect access to healthcare in our district. That said, I believe it is essential to guarantee that health centers are transparent and accountable for the services they offer–especially when they receive taxpayer funds.
More broadly, I think conversations about abortion cannot take place in a vacuum. We need to work on access to affordable childcare, early-childhood education, prenatal care and other health care services to support all Pennsylvania families.
