## Resource

Pennsylvania’s November election could reshape abortion access in the state, as Governor Josh Shapiro vows to protect current laws and veto any restrictions, while Republicans hold the Senate and Democrats control the State House—creating a tense legislative standoff. Recent court rulings and executive actions, including ending ties with anti-abortion groups and launching a care-finding website, underscore Shapiro’s proactive stance. His Republican challenger, though pro-life with exceptions, says she won’t push for a ban and leaves the 24-week limit to lawmakers. With national debates swirling, this race could be a pivotal moment for reproductive rights in the commonwealth. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
