TELL THE STATE SENATE YOU DESERVE THE POWER TO CHOOSE

It was 53 years ago when the U.S. Supreme Court said women have the right to control their own bodies. Three years ago, a very different U.S. Supreme Court said it was up to the states, and now abortion is completely illegal in 13 states, with four more banning abortion after six weeks – in most cases, before a woman even knows she’s pregnant.

That’s why House Democrats acted to pass a proposed amendment to the state constitution that would let the people decide – potentially giving the tenets of Roe v. Wade full constitutional protection where future extremists would never be able to take them away.

The Reproductive Freedom Act (HB1957) makes sure our rights are codified in our founding document itself – the Pennsylvania Constitution.

  • The Reproductive Freedom Act is about our right to privacy and keeping big government out of your doctor’s office.
  • The Reproductive Freedom Act is about letting the people vote on our right to abortion care. Opposing this bill is saying the people should not be heard and that the government knows best.
  • The Reproductive Freedom Act would guarantee the right to choose or refuse an abortion, the right to choose or refuse contraceptives, and the right to choose or refuse fertility care, all without discrimination based on race, sex, religion, or relationship status.
  • Protecting abortion care in Pennsylvania’s constitution, while a difficult process, is the strongest legal answer to protect the lives of women and babies.

Now, it’s up to the state Senate to recognize the power lies in the hands of We, the People. Add your voice and demand they pass the Reproductive Freedom Act

I deserve the right to determine my future and the future of my community at the ballot box.

House Bill 1957 would give voters the right to choose to amend the Pennsylvania State Constitution and enshrine the right to access to abortion care in our founding document. Regardless of your opinion on the issue itself, you should never deny the citizens their rights to determine their future.

I urge you to call your leaders and demand an immediate vote on this legislation so we can move closer to letting voters choose to make access to legal, safe abortion a constitutional right.

We, the People, will be watching.
