Democratic judge says abortion is defining issue in Pennsylvania Supreme Court race

[RandySF]

One of the most-watched races in Pennsylvania is the battle between Democratic Judge Daniel McCaffery and his Republican opponent, Judge Carolyn Carluccio.

McCaffery told the American Independent Foundation that the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that overturned Roe v. Wade will be the defining issue in the race, adding that there are parallels between Carluccio and former President Donald Trump’s U.S. Supreme Court nominees.

“I mean, you had three individuals appointed by former President Trump that stood in front of the American public, each one of them answered questions the way that you would expect them regarding precedent, regarding stare decisis (Latin for “things decided”). And each one of them promised to follow the law,” McCaffery said. “And then each one of them basically overturned the law or changed the law and changed precedent, and disregarded what they said to the American public.”

Five of the seven justices on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court are Democrats. Although the open seat that McCaffery and Carluccio are running for will not upset the balance of power, three seats will be on the ballot in 2025.

Carluccio, a judge on the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas, removed anti-abortion language from her campaign’s website after she won the Republican primary. She has been endorsed by two anti-abortion groups, the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation and the Pro-Life Coalition of Pennsylvania.
