Keeping the power to regulate abortion in the legislature - rather than subject to the whims of the court, keeps those who make our law representative of, and answerable to “the People.”
PennLive Letters to the Editor
Nothing in this Pennsylvania Constitution provides for public funding of abortion, nor for any other right pertaining to abortion. Passage of the proposed amendment to the Pennsylvania Constitution leaves every current Pennsylvania abortion law in place. This amendment was passed by the PA Legislature in response to efforts by PA’s abortion businesses to have the PA Supreme Court declare that abortion had “evolved” into a constitutional right - thus requiring Medicaid to fund elective abortions with taxpayer money.
The amendment does not outlaw abortions - rather it prevents abortion from being controlled by judicial fiat. By establishing the Constitution’s silence on abortion, activist judges are legally prevented from improper overreach.
