Gov. Wolf says “women deserve better from their elected leaders”
Gov. Wolf said the actions of his fellow governors were alarming because the approved the bills that destroys the abortion rights of victims of rapes and incest.
“These bills are an attempt to criminalize the decisions that women make about their own health care. Horrifyingly, in multiple states, legislation seeks to destroy abortion rights for victims of the horrors of rape and incest,” said the Pennsylvania Governor.
Gov. Wolf emphasized, “Let me be clear: I will veto any attempt by politicians to insert themselves in the doctor-patient relationship and ban abortion. From Alabama to Georgia to Ohio to Pennsylvania, women deserve better from their elected leaders. The lack of respect for vulnerable women is stunning. I stand with women in Pennsylvania, and across America, who just want these politicians to give them the privacy and freedom that they deserve.”
