The officials elected in the Nov. 8 election will decide the future of abortion in Pennsylvania. Abortion bans will either be vetoed or made into law. Proposed constitutional amendments will either pass on final passage or not move forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

Pennsylvania Republicans are trying to get around the governor’s vetoes with a constitutional amendment that would pave the way to dismantling abortion rights in the commonwealth. SB 106 has received first passage and could come back around for final passage in January 2023. — PolitiTweet.org

At a state level, I signed an executive order that protects providers and people seeking reproductive health care. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

At a federal level, @POTUS signed an executive order that: 💊 Protects access to medication abortion 🏥 Ensures emergency care 👩‍⚕️ Protects access to contraception 👩‍⚖️ Encourages volunteer legal representation — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

To recap: In June, #SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade. This leaves abortion legality up to individual states. I’ve vetoed attempts by Pennsylvania’s Republican-led legislature to roll back abortion access. And I vow to veto any other anti-choice bills they send my way. — PolitiTweet.org

With American Rescue Plan funding, we've put millions of dollars into PA’s childcare and healthcare and workforces to: 🤝 Improve retention and ease recruitment 💵 Increase worker pay 🏫 Support education to ensure we continue to have a pipeline of talented professionals — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

Today I’m at the @WhiteHouse to join a workforce summit with @VP, @SecMartyWalsh, and @NC_Governor. In Pennsylvania, we’ve been able to make crucial investments to improve our childcare and healthcare workforces because of the American Rescue Plan. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

I've prepared Pennsylvania for the future. ☀️ I'm proud we've secured another historic deposit into our emergency funds while making critical investments in Pennsylvanians — all without raising taxes or creating a future fiscal cliff. https://t.co/HoA4FyQ3ZD — PolitiTweet.org

Big news: Pennsylvania is getting three new state parks. Our beautiful state parks are among the finest in the nation. I’m proud that we secured funding in this year’s budget to make this investment in our parks system. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

I just signed an executive order to further uphold abortion rights in Pennsylvania. This action protects our abortion providers and people who seek abortion from out-of-state from prosecution. Abortion remains safe and legal here. — PolitiTweet.org

🆕 Pennsylvanians who participate in the Property Tax Rent Rebate program will receive a one-time 70% bonus rebate. I’ve been calling to boost relief for older adults and vulnerable Pennsylvanians in this program and I’m glad we could make it happen in this year’s budget. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

When I took office, the previous administration’s education funding cuts left schools struggling. I made reversing those cuts my top priority—and I’m proud to say we’ve done just that. Since 2015, we’ve increased funding to education at all levels by a historic $3.7 billion. https://t.co/oQrEs50L5c — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

Abortion bans disproportionately harm people with low incomes, Black and brown people, and families. I’ll veto any anti-abortion legislation the Pennsylvania legislature attempts to make law. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

The economic toll of abortion bans is real and devastating, and includes: 🩺 More expensive medical care 💼 Women being forced out of the workforce 🗓 Employee leave to access abortion 👩‍👦‍👦 More families getting trapped in poverty — PolitiTweet.org

This evening, I vetoed House Bill 972 — legislation passed through the Republican-led General Assembly to bully and oppress transgender youth. Hate has no place in Pennsylvania. These members should be ashamed of themselves for proposing and voting on discriminatory policies. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

I just signed the 2022-23 budget. I’m proud that this budget makes a historic $1.8 billion increase in education funding — bringing the total investment my administration has made in education at all levels to more than $3.7 billion.

Our Republican lawmakers continue to reach new lows. You are here to serve the people of PA. That means helping them with the real problems they face — not moving in the dead of night to take away their rights for your own political points. Pennsylvanians deserve better. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

Thank you @POTUS for prioritizing the health and safety of women and birthing people. I will continue to veto any attacks on reproductive health care that reach my desk here in Pennsylvania. — PolitiTweet.org

Pennsylvania still hasn’t passed safe storage requirements that would protect our children. Accidental shooting deaths and suicide by gun are far too common. They’re preventable. But we must act. https://t.co/5GhyUAblqB — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

In recent years, 90% of reported floods occurred outside of high-risk zones. I've seen how climate change has encroached on more Pennsylvanian lives. As storms become more frequent, we must invest in communities and emissions-cutting efforts to help prevent further loss. https://t.co/tL55YH7La8 — PolitiTweet.org

We can ban assault weapons. We can close background check loopholes and pass red flag laws. We can target white nationalism. We can store guns safely away from children. What we can't do is accept gun violence as normal. We must act. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

Across the US yesterday—including PA—crowds mistook fireworks for gunshots and fled. Mass shootings are so prevalent, crowds assume a loud noise is a gunshot. Our kids know exactly what to do; they've had active shooter drills for years. This is America. It doesn’t have to be. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

As the cost of living continues to rise, Pennsylvanians earning the minimum wage are left further behind. $7.25/hr wasn't enough five years ago — and it's far from enough today. #RaiseTheWage — PolitiTweet.org
