HARRISBURG — Two conflicting federal court rulings concerning abortion medication spurred Gov. Josh Shapiro on Monday to unveil a new website detailing reproductive health care resources in Pennsylvania and announce that the commonwealth is considering joining the legal fight to defend access to the medication.

Mr. Shapiro stressed that the court actions in Texas and Washington have no impact on abortion access in Pennsylvania, where abortion including medication abortion remains legal.

"Your rights and freedoms here in Pennsylvania have not changed — you can get a safe, legal medication abortion using mifepristone in our commonwealth," Mr. Shapiro said in a statement. "I believe decisions on reproductive care are to be made between women and their doctors, not extremist politicians or radical court rulings. Let's be clear: This Texas judge's attempt to restrict access to medication abortions is just another attack on a woman's right to choose. This is about protecting our freedoms, and I won't back down from that fight."

The new website can be found at www.pa.gov/freedomtochoose/#Provider and includes information about abortion medication, a provider search and information on planning and paying for abortions.

1. Why doesn't the Biden administration do this on a national basis????

And tell the fucking asshole judge in Texas "You and what army are going to enforce your ruling??????"

2. I think when SCOTUS overruled Roe, it means it has to be legislated in every state

Unless Congress tackles the pro-choice question directly, this is how it will have to be.
Democratic Governors like Josh Shapiro will save us.
