Jason, it's official: Roe v. Wade has been overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court.
It's been a hard few weeks since this decision was leaked, but now it's real — and I'm sure you're angry, frustrated, and scared about what this means. I am too.
But this decision means the next Governor will have the ability to sign — or veto — that legislation. Jason, I will veto any bill that restricts a woman's right to choose — and with this news, we know that's going to be one of the most consequential decisions our next Governor makes.
Jason, we must win this race to keep abortion safe, legal, and accessible in Pennsylvania. It is literally up to us. Can you split a donation of whatever feels right to you in this moment between my campaign and Dirt Road PAC to help defend reproductive rights in Pennsylvania?

You probably know a grandparent, aunt, parent, sibling, or even yourself who marched for the right to choose fifty years ago, before Roe v. Wade became the law of the land.
I've met people who marched back then — people who are furious and tired that they have to do this all over again for something they thought was set in stone — a right that we all thought would be protected forever.
I want you to know that I'm furious too. That I will not ever back down from protecting the right to choose in Pennsylvania — from protecting women's lives.
Due to the Supreme Court's decision, each and every state will decide whether the women who reside there can have an abortion.
So with a Republican Legislature that's tried time and time again to restrict abortion access (even through a constitutional amendment), we can be certain they'll send a bill severely limiting abortion access in Pennsylvania to the desk of the next Governor.
Know this: abortion remains legal in Pennsylvania — and will remain legal if I'm elected Governor. Can you split a donation of $10 or whatever you can today between my campaign and DIrt Road PAC to elect a pro-choice Governor in Pennsylvania?
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
These past few weeks have been tough — but I know that we have the voice, the strength, and the determination to keep abortion access legal in Pennsylvania.
Together, we can do this.
