The pro-life movement in Pennsylvania and throughout the United States has consistently maintained that abortion is detrimental to women’s health and well-being.
In light of the aforementioned circumstances, National Right to Life and the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation have been vocal in their efforts to ensure that women who have experienced the tragedy and trauma of abortion receive the compassionate counselling and support they deserve.
We oppose legislative measures that would result in the criminalisation or punishment of women who are victims of the abortion industry.
However, pro-abortion politicians in Pennsylvania are disseminating a misleading narrative, suggesting that those who advocate for the rights of the unborn child intend to prosecute women who have been victimised by abortionists.
It is regrettable that the mainstream media, which could be expected to demonstrate a certain degree of curiosity, are perpetuating the myth in their reports.
One positive aspect of this situation is that the Pennsylvania Senate is led by lawmakers who are pro-life and therefore unlikely to pass legislation that is in line with the views of the abortion industry and its allies in the state legislature.
The Pennsylvania House of Representatives is currently evenly divided, with 101 Democrats and 101 Republicans. A special election to replace pro-abortion Democrat Sara Innamorato, who resigned to seek another office, is anticipated in September.
The impasse in the House of Representatives serves to illustrate the pivotal role of elections in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, a pivotal state which could potentially determine the outcome of the 2024 presidential election.
