PHILADELPHIA — Days after the Supreme Court ended the constitutional right to abortion, Rep. Susan Wild went to a rally in Easton, where a woman held an 8-month-old. She lamented that the child “had more rights eight months ago than she does now,” Wild recalled.
Since then, she said abortion and the Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade has come up even more than she expected, and from all types of voters in her Lehigh Valley congressional district, one of the most competitive in the country.
“The most notable thing about it is the wide range of age from young to old as well as gender, males and females, that are talking to me about it and are outraged about it,” Wild, a Democrat, said in an interview. “People are seeing this as the deprivation of a right that has long been established in our country.”
