Flash-forward to today, at the peak of the midterm elections’ race, and the political landscape around reproductive freedom and abortion rights has massively shifted. The Supreme Court’s stunning decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in June swept away abortion rights, allowing the GOP to start making good on the draconian abortion measures they’ve long been cheerleading. And those voters are increasingly in the abortion rights camp. ​​According to Gallup, women support abortion rights by a nearly 30-point margin. President Bill Clinton preferred to discuss abortion as “safe, legal and rare,” a catchphrase that many Democrats adopted later.
State Sen. Doug Mastriano, the Republican nominee for governor in Pennsylvania, said in 2019 that women should be charged with murder if they violated his proposed abortion ban. Under his proposed legislation, Mastriano was asked whether a woman who decided to get an abortion at 10 weeks gestation would be charged with murder. Asked if he was saying yes, they should be charged with murder, Mastriano responded: "Yes, I am." After the Supreme Court decision in June overturning Roe v. Wade, the future of abortion rights has played prominently on the campaign trail. At last week's Pennsylvania March for Life, Mastriano called the battle over abortion rights "the single most important issue, I think, in our lifetime."
Doug Mastriano, a state senator, is the GOP nominee running for governor of Pennsylvania. In 2019, he said women who have illegal abortions should be charged with murder. Mastriano at the time was a lead sponsor of legislation to ban abortions when a heartbeat is detected. "Would that woman who decided to have an abortion, which would be considered an illegal abortion, be charged with murder?" During the 2019 WITF radio interview, Mastriano said abortion "absolutely is" murder.
