Vote for Ashley Ehasz to Preserve Women's Reproductive Rights
by Hal Wright
As an Alabama judge rules that frozen embryos are persons, with all the rights that entails, it's worth reviewing Brian Fitzpatrick's voting record on reproductive rights. Time and again, Fitzpatrick has voted to empower anti-choice MAGA extremists. The only pro-choice candidate in the race for PA01 is Democrat Ashley Ehasz.
Brian Fitzpatrick claims that he is pro-choice. His record tells a very different story.
The House Speaker has the power to keep legislation from ever being considered, however popular it might be.
Fitzpatrick has equated reproductive freedom to a dramatic and unrealistic wild west scenario, apparently casting himself as some sort of sheriff overseeing women's bodies. He characterizes his vote for Johnson as "keeping the lights on" in Congress, a wholly ineffective gesture, as Johnson dismissed Congress after blocking legislation to protect the southern border, and to supply needed aid to Ukraine and Israel. At best, Fitzpatrick is naive; at worst, he is a charlatan, saying one thing while doing another.

Candidate Ashley Ehasz won't play these word games. A no-nonsense combat veteran, Ehasz believes the women of PA01 deserve body autonomy. Ehasz has pledged to fight for a woman's right to choose. She is endorsed by Planned Parenthood, and was endorsed by the Philadelphia Inquirer in 2022.
