Quinn Voted For SB 3, Which Would Criminalize Abortion With No Exceptions For Rape Or Incest. Quinn voted for SB 3, which according to Governor Tom Wolf Press Release, “Governor Tom Wolf today denounced the movement of the ultra-conservative Senate Bill 3 in the state House Health Committee. This bill would criminalize a common health procedure for women used by doctors in consultation with their patients. Governor Wolf again vowed to veto the bill. ‘Once again, Harrisburg Republicans are moving the most extreme anti-choice legislation in the country that criminalizes abortion and leaves no exceptions for victims of rape or incest,’ Governor Wolf said. ‘I have met with women and medical professionals and understand how devastating and dangerous this bill would be for patients. That’s why I will veto this attack on women. Put simply, women’s health care decisions should be left up to women and their doctors, not politicians in Harrisburg.’”[SB 3, Votes,12/12/17; Governor Tom Wolf Press Release,12/4/17]
Quinn Voted For SB 106, Which Would Ask Voters To Amend The State Constitution To Declare That There Is No Right To Abortion In Pennsylvania. Quinn voted for SB 106, which according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, “The Pennsylvania Senate and House passed a bill Friday that would ask voters to amend the state constitution to declare that there is no right to abortion in Pennsylvania, and no guarantee that taxpayer funding can be used for abortions. […] The bill — Senate bill 106 — must pass the legislature in two sessions and be publicly advertised before it goes to voters. That means next year is the earliest the amendment question could appear on the ballot.” [SB 106, Votes, 7/8/22; Philadelphia Inquirer, 7/8/22]
