Pledges to Preserve Women’s Health Care

Pittsburgh– Erin Molchany won the support of Planned Parenthood Pennsylvania PAC today. The endorsement recognizes Molchany’s commitment to affordable and accessible healthcare for all women and her experience supporting issues that effect women every day.

Sari Stevens, President of Planned Parenthood Pennsylvania PAC is proud to support Erin in this time of an unprecedented onslaught of legislation against women.

“All Pennsylvania women deserve access to quality, affordable healthcare from the health care providers they trust,” Stevens said. ”We deserve a representative who is committed to bettering the lives of women by supporting cervical and breast cancer screenings, well-women care, and access to family planning care. Erin exemplifies commitment and dedication to the reproductive health issues that effect women every day and we are proud to support her in the 22^nd Legislative District.”
