Forward Majority PAC, one of the largest Democratic spenders in state legislative races, is investing $10 million in Pennsylvania out of the $45 million the PAC is spending in close state legislative races. Democrats are warning about bans in red states as a worst case scenario should Republicans flip the chamber, pointing to North Carolina, where a Democrat switching parties in the state House last year allowed the Legislature to pass a ban on abortion after 12 weeks.
“Folks are seeing that we live in two Americas where women who have access to abortion care and reproductive care are at a different level than women in states with bans,” said Leslie Martes, chief strategy officer for Forward Majority.
