PA Dems Back Anti-Choice & Pro-Choice Bills [VIDEO]

This is a video from my show Counterpoint PA, the only grassroots progressive newscast exclusively about Pennsylvania politics.

In this video, I discuss rival abortion access proposals in Pennsylvania that both have Democratic support. One imitates a Texas law that shut down a third of that state's abortion clinics by requiring doctors who provide abortion services to get admitting privileges from a hospital, and the other would protect abortion access by creating "buffer zones" around clinic entrances and exits where anti-choice protesters couldn't harass women on their way in and out. I close with my take on PA Democrats' ongoing division over this issue.

Stay in touch on Twitter @CounterpointPA and on Facebook at http://facebook.com/counterpointpa and stay tuned throughout January for the rest of this month's show!

I also moved here from New Jersey back in September after I retired. Worked for the same NYC company for 40 years and I lived to tell about it!

PA just got two new blue voters and cannot wait for November to help oust Corbutt and hopefully end the destruction he and his ilk has done to this lovely state.
