Dear Fellow Pennsylvanians,

As physicians, we typically keep our medical practices and our politics separate, but this is an unprecedented time. The Republican Party has abandoned science, and even truth itself. We are uniting behind an entire political party to protect our patients, families, and our collective communities. We know that a continued Republican majority in our state legislature presents an imminent danger to all citizens of our Commonwealth....

Our moral and civic responsibility: vote a straight democratic ticket

It is a great privilege to be a physician, and with that comes a moral and civic responsibility to advocate for the health and safety of our communities. We take an oath to do no harm, so when reproductive care is threatened, it shakes us to our core. Legislators who think they are capable and entitled to step into our exam rooms uninvited can only do harm. A woman’s right to bodily autonomy is unalienable. 

Friends, family and our many communities - we ask you to register to vote, make a voting plan, and vote a straight Democratic ticket in November so that we can continue to do our job keeping you healthy and safe.

Sincerely,

Physicians For a Healthy Pennsylvania
