Shapiro kicks off Harris campaign's 'Fighting for Reproductive Freedom' bus tour in Philadelphia

Sunday’s rally, which drew about 200 people to Independence Visitors Center in Old City, was the first stop on a bus tour that will visit Montgomery County, Allentown, Scranton, Harrisburg, and Pittsburgh in the coming days. The reproductive rights bus tour has already traveled through Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland.

Shapiro also touted his record on abortion rights, pointing to his administration’s support of over-the-counter birth control pills, and ending the state’s contract with “Real Alternatives,” anti-abortion centers.

Shapiro said in July that his administration wouldn’t defend in court a state law that prohibits state Medicaid funding from being used for abortions.

“Every step of the way, we have made clear to our opponents in the legislature, do not send me those bills that undermine freedom in Pennsylvania because they will be met with a swift veto from my office,” he said.
