Reply to comment by Mijbr090490 in Democrats win control of Pennsylvania state House · Spotlight PA by dotcom-jillionaire

Does more than send a message.

This is how the PA Constitution is ammended:

  1. Legislatures pass the amendment once.

  2. Legislatures pass again in the next session.

  3. Voters approve via ballot measure (Legislature chooses ballot wording).

Republicans passed an anti-choice constitutional amendment this term. If they kept the House, they'd pass it again, and then it goes on our ballot.

Democrat control of the house saves women's lives.

They should pass an amendment protecting the right to choose, then next session do it again and put it to the voters during a general election, the 2024 one if they can.

Republicans still control the senate. That wouldn’t happen.

Plus they also passed the first go around of making mail in voting unconstitutional.

In addition to actually saving women's lives, flipping the state house will also help save democracy in the state.
