Gubernatorial Candidate Allyson Schwartz Promotes Abortion in Philly Inquirer


According to an article in Philly.com, pro-abortion gubernatorial candidate Allyson Schwartz, during an hour-long session with the Editorial Board of the Philadelphia Inquirer, disputed the notion that she would be vulnerable in a statewide general election because of her identification with abortion rights.  
Ms. Schwartz co-founded and was executive director of the Elizabeth Blackwell Center, a Planned Parenthood facility in center city Philadelphia.  Ms. Schwartz made this false claim, "I think we should stop worrying about that," Schwartz said, adding that support for access to abortion is the majority opinion in the state.”

"It's time for us to stop thinking about Pennsylvania as being so behind, because it's not," she said. "Look, President Obama ran ads in Western Pennsylvania on Planned Parenthood. Now he didn't do that because he was a risk-taker. He did it because he knew that Pennsylvanians across the state supported women's access to health services, including abortion."
