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."
