Statement from Speaker Mike Turzai

Speaker Applauds House Vote to Protect Babies, Mothers HARRISBURG – Speaker of the House Mike Turzai (R-Allegheny) issued the following statement today in response to the Pennsylvania House advancing House Bill 1948 to the Senate for consideration. The bill would lower the risk to mothers and babies by limiting abortions to cases of medical necessity after 20 weeks of pregnancy, instead of the current 24-week ceiling, and ending the practice of dismemberment abortions. “Moving House Bill 1948 to the Senate sends a clear signal that there is bipartisan support to protect unborn children and mothers and shows the Commonwealth’s commitment to promoting a culture of life,” said Turzai. House Bill 1948 passed with a vote of 132-65.

Statement from the Governor's Press Office.

Governor Wolf Will Veto HB 1948 Harrisburg, PA – The governor’s position on HB 1948 remains the same – he will veto the legislation if it reaches his desk. Below are Governor Wolf’s remarks paraphrased from a press conference with advocates earlier this year: “This legislation would be a step backwards for women and for Pennsylvania. If it passes the house, I urge the Senate to reject it. If this legislation reaches my desk, I will veto it. This is a bad bill for Pennsylvania and we cannot afford to allow it to go forward.”
