PA-01: Reproductive Rights Forum Featuring Congressional Candidate Ashley Ehasz Warns What's at Stake for Women

Pennsylvania 1st congressional district candidate Ashley Ehasz and public-interest attorney Kathryn Kolbert sat alongside doctors and activists discussing the impact of overturning Roe v. Wade at the Women’s Reproductive Rights Forum at Bucks County Community College on Thursday night.

The forum organized by Social Justice Indivisible highlighted the potential for a national abortion ban, medical perspectives on the impact of the Dobbs decision, and the importance of voter engagement to protect reproductive freedoms.

Kolbert, who argued against five Pennsylvania abortion regulations in the 1992 Planned Parenthood v. Casey case, spoke about the paths to a national abortion ban due to the legal and political landscape. She warned that losing control of the Senate and the House, at the state level and federal level, could strip Pennsylvania and the country of its reproductive rights.

“Donald Trump … if he wins the election, he wins the Senate, he takes the House, they will have the power to enact a national ban but that’s not the only way he could do it,” Kolbert said.

Usually I don't take fundraising calls, but she struck me as someone smart, aware, dedicated, and serious. I really liked her, and did send in a contribution. Hers is one of the Congressional races I will be following.
