Late Thursday night, Republican lawmakers voted to add language to the state's constitution, stating explicitly that the document does not guarantee any rights relating to abortion or public funding of abortions.
HARRISBURG, Pa. — Republican state senators outvoted impassioned Democratic opposition late Thursday to advance a proposal to add language to the Pennsylvania Constitution stating explicitly that the document does not guarantee any rights relating to abortion or public funding of abortions.
The proposal was tacked onto a package of constitutional amendments in a bill the state House approved in December. Other amendments would let lawmakers disapprove regulations without facing a governor’s veto and have the General Assembly set up a system for the auditor general to conduct election audits.
Sen. Katie Muth, D-Montgomery, vowed that “women and their allies will not stand for this. This is a ban on our rights.”“I don’t need a single person in this room to tell me what to do with my body,” Muth said. “I don’t.”
