Pa. Gov. Josh Shapiro kicks off 'Reproductive Freedom' bus tour in Philly for Kamala Harris' presidential bid

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro on Sunday afternoon kicked off Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign’s “Fighting for Reproductive Freedom” bus tour inside the Independence Visitor Center in Old City, where he criticized former President Donald Trump’s record on abortion and said that the western part of the state has seen an influx of women seeking “basic health care.”

“We have seen a dramatic increase, thousands of women, coming from West Virginia and Ohio, where they do not have the same level of reproductive freedom in those states, coming here to get basic health care, coming here to have an abortion if they so choose,” Shapiro told the crowd. “I made clear, our doors are open in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for women across all of these United States.”

Shapiro’s remarks were met with claps, cheers, and nods of agreement from attendees inside the “Liberty View” event room. The popular governor, who has been stumping for the Harris-Walz ticket, blamed the increase on Trump’s “abortion bans.” “I want you to know, there is only so much we can do here if Donald Trump is given the keys to the White House,” Shapiro said.

The Nov. 5 election will be the first presidential contest since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022 and states across the country enacted abortion bans.
