I get asked why, as a physician-legislator, do I elevate the importance of abortion rights. It is because of cases like these - women who shouldn’t have died. I wish this wasn’t political, but politics is what threatens my patients’ health. Vote Pro-Health. Vote Pro-Choice.

As an ER Doc, I regularly work with our first responders. As a State Rep, I’m endorsed by @PA_FOP Lodges 1 & 91, @Teamsters JC40 (representing Franklin Park Police), @PghFireFighters & the Ambulance Assoc of PA. Great to canvass in Franklin Park with new lit showing this support.

Trust is earned. Last week, my opponent erased her statements on being radically anti-choice & anti-gun safety. Now, she refuses to answer basic questions from local reporters ( @905wesa ) & participate in a non-partisan candidate forum ( @LWVPA ). Voters deserve better. #PAHD30

Loving v. Virginia established the constitutional right to inter-racial marriage. Love is love, and it is wonderful to celebrate the anniversary of this decision that changed our country for the better, making us a more perfect union in every way.

Tomorrow is Election Day. Let’s vote for: - Judges who protect reproductive rights - County and Town leaders who work for all of us - DAs who strive for safety and justice - School Board members who are thoughtful and inclusive. Let’s vote for all the Democrats on our ballot.

Today, I received my mail-in ballot. I voted for: - Judges who will protect reproductive rights - Town leaders and DAs who will work for all of us - School Board Members who believe education should be inclusive and open-minded. I voted Democrat and urge others to do the same.

As a physician-legislator, I know: - Most women don’t know they are pregnant at six weeks. This is a blanket abortion ban. - What will stop our state from going through the same is voting for @JoeBiden & pro-choice candidates. . @realDonaldTrump did this. Remember in November.

As an ER Doc, I unfortunately regularly care for those affected by gun violence. I’ve seen members of my community come to my ER due to gun violence in many different ways - from an accidental injury to a child who finds an unsecured firearm to multiple victims of a mass shooting

Attempts to inject health-based sanity into anti-abortion laws fail due to far-right groups who don’t care about women. Don’t believe anti-abortion politicians saying they support “exceptions.” They HAVE & WILL NOT. Vote Pro-Health. Vote Pro-Choice.

ProPublica reviewed 12 of the nation’s strictest abortion bans. Few changed in 2023, as state lawmakers caved to pressure from anti-abortion groups opposing exceptions for rape, incest and health...

An object lesson in the casual cruelty of abortion bans. ⁦ @realDonaldTrump ⁩ & his judges did this. The EMTALA decision has only prolonged this catastrophe. We must elect pro-choice candidates to prevent this chaos in PA. Voters, remember on 11/5.

She Needed an Emergency Abortion. Doctors in Idaho Put Her on a Plane.

In states that have banned abortion, hospitals have struggled to treat pregnant women facing health risks. A Supreme Court decision this week did not help.

Fine. Every state candidate should state if they support codifying reproductive rights in their state constitution. Every federal candidate should state if they will vote against federal limits on reproductive rights. I will vote to protect reproductive rights in Pennsylvania.

After months of publicly dodging but privately saying he liked the idea of a 16-week federal ban, Trump posts video on Truth Social again praising end of Roe v Wade, saying it’s up to states to decide on specific bans, doesn’t support specific week limit, supports exceptions.

First, @realDonaldTrump & his judges overturned Roe, saying the states should decide. Now, they are obstructing states from deciding. Don’t be fooled. We must vote on Nov 5 up-and-down the ballot for pro-choice candidates, starting with @KamalaHarris .

Abortion foes use government power to fight red-state ballot measures

Critics say abortion opponents are employing legal challenges, administrative maneuvers and even outright intimidation to derail proposed amendments.
