Local women rally for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Josh Shapiro

A small group of Adams County women started the July 4 weekend by showing their support for women’s rights.

The group picketed in front of State Senator and gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano’s office at 33 York Street in Gettysburg on Friday evening.

“Mastriano is running for Governor of Pennsylvania and wants to ban abortions altogether…no exceptions for rape, incest, or the life of the mother,” said rally participant Lois Starkey. “As our state
senator, he is the sponsor of legislation to severely restrict abortion access in Pennsylvania.”

Starkey said the informal group of friends was frustrated and angry and decided to take action. “We are out today and for days to come to actively campaign for Josh Shapiro, and other candidates who are going to support access to safe abortions; who will consider women first when it comes to our own health; and who will support individual rights to privacy and choice,” said Starkey.

Adoption not murder. I Can’t believe any of these women are mothers. You are certainly not living God’s word! These are live babies not a medical procedure!
You had a right to life, as everyone of God’s children should.
Doug Mastriano all the way !

Mastriano is dumb enough to believe Trump’s lies about the election and sought to steal the election of my choice for president. His fascist attitude towards women is intolerable.

It should be remembered, this clown wants to repeal voting by mail, which I predict will be restored by the state Supreme Court, State Rep. Moul also seeks to strip vote by mail, as he is a signatory to the lawsuit which has thus far done so.
