Applaud PA Court for Expanding Reproductive Freedom

A Pennsylvania court has ruled that the state’s decades-old ban on public funding for abortion is unconstitutional, affirming that reproductive autonomy is a fundamental right under the state constitution.

For too long, this ban disproportionately harmed low-income women, effectively denying access to care based on income. This decision makes clear: healthcare decisions belong to individuals — not the government.

By recognizing reproductive freedom as a constitutional right, the court is helping ensure that access to care is more equitable, more just, and more protected.

This ruling is about dignity, fairness, and the fundamental right to make personal healthcare decisions without interference.

Add your name to applaud this victory and stand up for reproductive freedom and equal access to care.
