Hey, it's Josh here.

I know you’re hearing from everyone that this upcoming election will determine the fate of reproductive health care — but it's true. It’s on us to make sure that women in Pennsylvania don’t wake up one day only to realize their health care appointments were cancelled, and they no longer have access to an abortion.

This is not a hypothetical. It is a hard, painful reality.

If I lose in November, my opponent has been clear that his number one priority is completely banning abortion – you heard that right. Now I need your support in order to defeat him. Can you chip in today to defeat him at the ballot box?

I believe that abortion is health care and as Governor, I will always fight to protect it. If a bill comes across my desk that tries to restrict anyone’s access to reproductive health care, I will use my pen to veto that legislation.

However, that veto pen is the only thing that stands between access to abortion and a total ban on all abortions. My opponent, and his GOP colleagues, have pledged to launch a full attack on the rights of the women of Pennsylvania. If Doug Mastriano wins this race, we can expect to see him sign a bill that would ban all abortions with zero exceptions — he even said it’s his “#1 issue.”

Simply put, John — we cannot afford to lose this race because abortion rights are at stake. Can you send whatever you can to help us defend choice in Pennsylvania?

I truly believe that there is nothing we cannot do if we do it together. Thanks for being in this fight with me.

Thanks,

Josh Shapiro
