ICYMI: Scheller Remains “Notably Silent” On Roe Decision

Despite previously supporting efforts to criminalize abortion without exceptions for rape and incest, Scheller hides post-Roe

Lisa Scheller’s continued silence on the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is staggering, and people are beginning to notice. Today, the Keystone Newsroom noted her cowardice:

Wild’s opponent, Republican Lisa Scheller, has been notably silent on the issue since the decision was handed down. However, her past statements openly supported “criminalizing abortion when there is a detectable fetal heartbeat” – even in cases of rape and incest – and Scheller said she would never vote for a bill to codify Roe v. Wade.

These statements were made during a primary debate in April of 2022, but no recent comments or statements have been released.

The Scheller campaign has not yet responded to requests for comment on the overturning of Roe and what it means for Pennsylvania families.

DCCC Spokesperson James Singer
“Lisa Scheller can try and hide her past comments, but her record speaks for itself. She would team up with Doug Mastriano to criminalize abortion – with no exceptions for rape or incest.”
