Dr Azz just tweeted: “ The Supreme Court’s decision to
overturn Roe v. Wade is to many
considered controversial. I respect
those with a different view, but as a
heart surgeon, I’ve held the smallest
of human hearts in the palm of my
hand, and will defend the sanctity of
life. I am relieved that protecting the
lives of America’s unborn children
will once again be decided by the
people through their elected
representatives. As we lift up life, we
must focus on the needs of mothers
and children, for whom this decision
can be the greatest gift of all.”
That’s actually a pretty good statement.
Democratic nominee for Senate and Lieutenant Governor JOHN FETTERMAN released the following statement in response to the ruling:
“Deciding how and when to become a mother is a decision that should always be made by a woman and her doctor, not politicians.
If there were any doubts left about what’s at stake in this race, it became crystal clear today.
The right to an abortion will be on the ballot this November in Pennsylvania.
I will protect abortion rights. Dr. Oz will take them away. It’s that simple.”
I like Dr. Oz’s latest statement affirming his pro-life position and as a Pennsylvania voter, I intend to vote for him in November. (You can’t have everything in a candidate, but the pro-life agenda is important to me.) I would also welcome more dialogue about aid to mothers for health care and children’s health and education.)
