I’m sure the last thing you want at your next gynecological appointment is for Craig Williams to be standing in between you and your doctor,” said Elizabeth Moro, Democratic Candidate for PA House District 160

DELAWARE COUNTY, PA., August 13, 2024 – On Tuesday, the Pennsylvania House Democratic Campaign Committee (PA HDCC) held a press conference to highlight how PA House Democratic nominees Elizabeth Moro (candidate, HD 160) and Cristian Luna (candidate, HD 13) will help Democrats expand the people’s majority and fight for reproductive freedom—a priority for people in Chester and Delaware Counties.

Speakers at the event highlighted the extreme positions taken by Republican Representatives Craig Williams and John Lawrence and how they turned their backs on the people of their district by attacking reproductive freedom in the legislature.

The media event is part of the PA HDCC’s “The People’s Majority Tour”’ which aims to strengthen and expand the Democratic State House majority by highlighting how “The People’s Majority” is delivering on people’s priorities.

PAHDCC will be taking this message throughout the Commonwealth for the next 84 days until the General Election on November 5th. Additional tour stops to be announced.

Video Highlights (all timestamps from Twitter/X):

Rep. Joanna McClinton (D), Speaker of the Pennsylvania State House

(2:58)

The last time I checked, Abortion care is healthcare. When I go to my doctor’s office there is only one extra seat, there are not enough seats for me to bring the entire Pennsylvania general assembly, So we are standing on the right side of these issues.

Elizabeth Moro, Democratic Candidate for PA House District 160

(13:53)

We cannot allow our rights to be rolled back in Pennsylvania. Now my opponent, (Republican Rep) Craig Willams does not share these ideals.

(14:20-14:59)

The decision on when to start a family should be between a woman and her family and not Craig Williams. Even more egregious he vowed to prosecute doctors who perform abortion care, preventing them from keeping their oath. Think about what this means; Doctors in Pennsylvania are afraid from practicing any sort of medicine because of the threat that these republican extremists present. They can't be in office, we have to make sure they are removed from office.

(15:00-15:14)

Craig is not the moderate he pretends to be, I’m sure the last thing you want at your next gynecological appointment is for Craig Willaims to be standing in between you and your doctor.

Cristian Luna, Democratic Candidate for PA House District 13

(17:00-17:28)

I was a former legal advocate for the domestic violence center in Chester County where many times I got to see strong courageous women make decisions about their future and this is no different. It is important that we uplift women and support the women in our community. We can trust a woman to make the best decisions for herself.
