Gov Wolf, Attorney General, Women's Health Caucus Rally in Support of Reproductive Rights

Governor Tom Wolf today Attorney General Josh Shapiro, members of the Women's Health Caucus, and stakeholders to discuss the damaging effects of the general assembly's proposed anti-abortion legislation and reaffirm a commitment to protecting reproductive rights in Narberth.

"Today, I am reaffirming my commitment to uphold Pennsylvanians' right to make their own health decisions," said Gov. Wolf. "Politics do not belong in a doctor's office and there is absolutely no place for politicians to come between an individual and their doctor. It is despicable that members of the legislature are actively working to criminalize health care decisions that individuals and their doctors need the freedom to make on their own."

This week, Pennsylvania's General Assembly proposed anti-choice legislation, with Governor Wolf vowing to veto any anti-choice legislation that lands on his desk.
