Harris-Vance campaign in Pennsylvania; Trump enters Miami City Hall

Reproductive Freedom For All today endorsed Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., for re-election in a statement first shared with NBC News.

Mini Timmaraju, president of the nonprofit that advocates for reproductive rights, said Casey “found the timing right” and “recognizes that action is needed to protect the right to and access to abortion nationwide.”

“With abortion opponents like David McCormick more focused than ever on a national ban, we need Senator Casey in the Senate to defend our rights,” Timmaraju said.

“Pennsylvanians are ready to vote on their values ​​again this November – and our members across the state are ready and mobilizing in their communities to help send Senator Casey back to Washington.”

The Casey campaign has accused McCormick, the Republican candidate, of supporting a “dangerous anti-choice agenda.”

McCormick believes abortion laws should be left to the states.

During the second debate in the Pennsylvania Senate last night, McCormick and Casey were asked about their position on reproductive rights.

“I think the people should decide, and that’s exactly what happened in Pennsylvania,” McCormick said. “I think Pennsylvania has a law that people believe in and support, and I support that too.”

A Pennsylvania state law signed by Casey’s father, former Gov. Bob Casey Sr., allows abortions up to 24 weeks of pregnancy, with exceptions for the mother’s life.

During the debate, Casey said that McCormick “does not support restoring Roe.” He does not support the instrument that does that, the only instrument currently available, which is the Women’s Protection Act. And it’s a big difference in this race.”
