Reproductive Freedom For All, a nonprofit advocating for reproductive rights, endorsed Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., for re-election. The organization stated that Casey recognizes the need to protect abortion rights and access nationwide, especially with anti-abortion Republicans like David McCormick focusing on a national ban. The Casey campaign has accused McCormick of supporting a dangerous anti-choice agenda, while McCormick believes that abortion laws should be decided at the state level. During a recent Pennsylvania Senate debate, McCormick and Casey discussed their positions on reproductive rights, with McCormick stating his support for Pennsylvania’s current abortion law, which allows abortions up until the 24th week of pregnancy with exceptions for the life of the mother. Casey criticized McCormick for not supporting the restoration of Roe v. Wade and the Women’s Protection Act, which he sees as the only vehicle to protect abortion rights. The endorsement from Reproductive Freedom For All highlights the importance of the upcoming election for Pennsylvanians who are mobilizing to support Casey and his efforts to defend reproductive rights in the Senate.
