Special Advisor, Department of Human Services, Sara Goulet, speaks during a press conference Wednesday. The Department of Human Services, the Women's Health Caucus, and representatives from Planned Parenthood affirmed that Pennsylvanians should feel safe in accessing the full scope of reproductive, perinatal, and maternal health care available in the commonwealth, and that supports are in place to help mothers and birthing people access necessary reproductive and perinatal care.

The Wolf administration is pointing out the types of reproductive healthcare Pennsylvanians can access through the state, which includes abortion in some cases.

WITF’s Sam Dunklau reports that effort is in response to an anti-abortion rally held at the state Capitol this week.
