A looming Supreme Court ruling on abortion is already having an impact on a number of key gubernatorial races this fall.
a 1931 law banning abortion that would take effect if Roe were overturned. Under that legislation, exceptions are made for the health of the mother but not for rape or incest.“No matter what happens to Roe, I am going to fight like hell and use all the tools I have as governor to ensure reproductive freedom is protected,”. “Today in court, I represent all those who deserve the freedom to choose their own future. That’s a fight worth having.
Republican candidates for governor in Pennsylvania had outlined their plans to eliminate abortion in the state prior to the Politico story in a. Of the four candidates in attendance, two wanted a total ban with no exceptions for rape or incest, while two wanted a ban with those limited exceptions. Unlike 13 predominantly conservative states, Pennsylvania does not have a “trigger law” set to restrict abortion following a Roe repeal. But it also doesn’t have its own legal protections for abortion access, meaning the legality of the procedure could be decided by the next governor and state legislature.
“Our next Governor will decide if Pennsylvania women have the right to choose,” Shapiro said in one tweet. “It's as simple as that. Our Republican Legislature will send a bill to the next Governor's desk banning abortion — my opponent will sign it. I will veto it.”
