John — I have always defended the right to choose, and I’ve been clear about being pro-choice since day one. Because it is her body, her choice.

Now that abortion access will be decided on a state-by-state basis, it’s critical that we elect a pro-choice Governor who will fight to ensure abortion remains safe, legal, and accessible in Pennsylvania. I will be that Governor, John. It’s up to us to defeat Mastriano and keep abortion safe, legal, and accessible here. Can you donate any amount now to help us defeat an anti-abortion extremist at the ballot box?

John, I want to tell you why you can trust me to always be a pro-choice Governor.

As the People’s Attorney General, I took on the Trump Administration in federal court to protect access to contraception, won an injunction against the “gag rule,” and filed an amicus brief in support of the U.S. Department of Justice’s challenge to Texas’ six-week abortion ban.

I’ve never shied away from my pro-choice stances or from defending the right to abortion in Pennsylvania. I can promise you that I will continue to protect a woman’s right to choose.

My opponent, Doug Mastriano, would never make that promise. He’s promised to ban all abortion with no exceptions, even in the case of rape, incest, or when the life of the mother is at risk as Governor. He even wants to throw doctors who perform abortions in jail. I’m not exaggerating when I say that if he becomes our next Governor, abortion would not be legal.

That’s why it’s so important we win this competitive race — because the future of abortion is at stake. We’re up against an anti-abortion extremist in this race, and so I need your support today.

Defending abortion access in Pennsylvania will come down to winning this Governor’s race. Can you rush a donation now to support this pro-choice campaign and ensure abortion access is defended in Pennsylvania?

This is a tough moment for many of us, John — and I am thinking especially of every woman who’s faced the choice the Supreme Court is now threatening. But together, we can ensure that abortion remains safe, legal, and accessible in Pennsylvania — and we will.

Sincerely,

Josh Shapiro
