The Pennsylvania state Constitution does not contain a so-called right to abortion—let alone a right for an abortion paid for by Pennsylvania taxpayers.
That is the holding of a friend-of-the-court brief filed by the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation, an affiliate of National Right to Life, and the Thomas More Society, a non-profit public interest law firm dedicated to restoring respect for human life.
The two pro-life powerhouses filed the brief in connection with the case known as Allegheny Reproductive Health Center v. Pennsylvania Department of Human Services.
In the case, which is now before the PA Supreme Court, the abortion industry is arguing for a so-called fundamental right to abortion and a right to funding of abortion at taxpayer expense.
