Just a day after the Supreme Court decision ending the constitutional right to an abortion, both sides were gearing up for the next stage in the battle over reproductive rights.
in Pennsylvania’s November election, when the state will pick a new governor and U.S. senator. For people who value the right to an abortion, electing Attorney General Josh Shapiro, the Democrat gubernatorial nominee, has gained added urgency. Antiabortion advocates see hope in his Republican opponent, State Sen. Doug Mastriano, who has said banning all abortions, including those that would end pregnancies from incest or rape, is a top priority.
“What happened yesterday was the beginning of policing women and pregnant people’s bodies,” said Nina Ahmad, president of the Pennsylvania chapter of the National Organization for Women. “In Pennsylvania, where abortion is still legal, the only way to keep it is with a veto pen which will belong to Josh Shapiro.”
As the candidate spoke, clouds drifted across a sweltering sun, offering slight relief for the roughly 1,500 people who attended. “Even though it wasn’t really a surprise, it was still unsettling, scary,” said Cara Stapleton, a 24-year-old Philadelphian who works in marketing. “I think it’s important right now for a lot of people to ban together.”
