Abortion rights have emerged as a significant issue in the Pennsylvania Senate race, with Democratic incumbent Sen. Bob Casey shifting his stance to support access to abortion. Casey, a self-described 'pro-life Democrat,' is now attacking his Republican challenger, David McCormick, over his abortion stance.
Casey's change in position comes in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to leave abortion matters to the states, prompting him to advocate for protecting women's constitutional rights to abortion. He warns that electing a Republican president and Senate majority could lead to restrictions on abortion and contraception, even in states where abortion is currently legal.
