"Women’s reproductive rights – and abortion access – won big Monday in Pennsylvania’s Commonwealth Court. The high court ruled in support of reproductive health care – including abortion – as a right under Pennsylvania’s Constitution."
Lucia was quoted by the Bucks County Beacon regarding the ruling.
“This ruling … is a lifeline to working families. Everyone deserves to decide for themselves if or when to start a family – including our neighbors who depend on Medicaid,” said Lucia Simonelli, a progressive Democrat running in the May primary for a chance to run against Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick.
