In a 4 to 3 vote Monday night, the commissioners ruled that Radnor Township is declining participation in any abortion ban and keeping reproductive rights intact, as the law currently stands.
"In Radnor Township, we will not be enforcing what is plainly a violation of a constitutional right to privacy," said Jack Larkin, the Radnor Township Board of Commissioners vice president.
Supporters of the ordinance included Commissioners Maggy Myers, Jack Larkin, Moira Mulroney and Lisa Borowski. They said they simply don't want their neighbors arrested for participating in something that has been protected by the constitution for almost 50 years.
