What Pennsylvania Law Says About Burning Leaves In Your Yard

A pile of crunchy maple leaves can be perfectly legal to burn in one town and against the rules a few miles away. That patchwork surprised me the first time I looked into it.

With a Pro-Reproductive Healthcare Trifecta Finally in Harrisburg, Lawmakers Must Act Decisively

For generations, all that was feasible in Pennsylvania was fighting off abortion bans, restrictions and attacks. In that time, nearly 90% of the abortion providers that were operating in the state had closed because of targeted laws that limited their ability to function. We saw crisis pregnancy centers pop up in every county and capitalize on gaps in sexual and reproductive healthcare and eventually outnumber legitimate abortion providers 9 to 1. Then we saw the fall of Roe v Wade in 2022, the absolute floor of our rights at the federal level.
