Politico reported on Monday that the Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision.

Politico,

Once the ruling is finalized and published, which is expected in two months, nothing will immediately change in Pennsylvania. Republican gubernatorial candidate Dave White, who like the other eight GOP candidates running for their party’s nomination in the May 17, opposes abortion. White, who has a special needs son, said in a statement on Monday evening if the report is accurate that he considers it “both a moment of joy and simultaneously one of great sadness.

In his role as state attorney general, Shapiro said in a statement to PennLive, “Women must have control over their own bodies. The stakes couldn’t be higher and we cant rely on the courts to preserve this right. I’ll continue to fight every day to stand up for Pennsylvania women and their right to choose.”“Let’s be clear: The right to an abortion is sacred,” he said in a statement.

“Our only way to fight this ruling is to make Josh Shapiro our next governor, protect the Democratic Senate majority by flipping Pennsylvania’s Senate seat, and send representatives to Harrisburg who value a woman’s right to choose. Reproductive freedoms and access to health care are absolutely on the ballot this November.”
