PA-GOV: Doctors skeptical on Pa. governor candidate Stacy Garrity's (R) abortion pivot

Doctors aren’t buying into Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity softening her views on abortion access and reproductive health care after she finished campaigning with Republican Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry this past Sunday.

The two spoke with Brandon Stroka at the Washington County Republican Party’s “Walkaway” themed fall dinner.

Prior to announcing her gubernatorial campaign to challenge Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro in next year’s election, Garrity removed anti-abortion merchandise from her campaign website and refused to answer questions about her views on abortion in an interview with Politico.

“[Garrity] is campaigning with the most restrictive [anti-abortion] governor. I don’t know what to tell you other than believe what they tell you the first time around,” Dr. Phil Hirshman, Montgomery County based obstetrics women’s health and gynecology (OBGYN) doctor, told reporters during an online press conference on Monday.
