With Supreme Court overturning Roe V. Wade, Pennsylvanians have stark choices before them in the 2022 election cycle.
its landmark and controversial 1973 decision that established a core federal right to have an abortion, Pennsylvania’s governor’s race would seem to be a perfect referendum on the question - if, that is, there weren’t so many other issues.
And in that corner, there’s Democratic nominee and sitting Attorney General Josh Shapiro, who reiterated in a press call Friday that he will veto any attempts to roll back Pennsylvania’s existing law, which gives a women the ability to choose an abortion through the first 23 weeks of pregnancy; and to have one after that in cases where continuing with the pregnancy would put her life at risk.
Other observers talked about abortion being an issue that could help the party energize younger voters, That’s especially true, argued Harrisburg-based Republican pollster Brock McCleary, of the prized independents and swing voters who often play pivotal roles in Pennsylvania races. Shapiro promised an abortion-plus approach too Friday, noting in response to a reporter’s question that voters’ understand that his prioritization of abortion rights doesn’t mean that he can’t do anything else - especially since he sees his role on the abortion issue as primarily being a defensive one.
, the Gallup Poll found the number of respondents saying they supported legal abortions in all or most circumstances sat 53 percent, with 45 percent saying abortion should be legal only in limited circumstances or never.
