HARRISBURG – Speaker of the PA House, Lancaster County Rep. Bryan Cutler and House Majority Leader, Centre County Rep. Kerry Benninghoff issued a statement on the U.S. Supreme Court decision in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case. The lawmakers said the ruling “reestablishes the authority of states to regulate abortion. The ruling once again makes clear it is the authority of individual states to establish laws that are in the best interest of their residents. It is important to point out PA’s Abortion Control Act remains in effect, and places firm restrictions on abortions in our Commonwealth including a ban on all late-term abortion procedures. This ruling presents a necessary opportunity to examine our existing abortion law, and discussions around possible changes are already underway.”
