Reproductive Freedom for All Calls Out PA Supreme Court Candidate Carolyn Carluccio’s Ties to Anti-Abortion Groups

Washington, DC As Election Day swiftly approaches, Republican judicial candidate Carolyn Carluccio continues to rack up support from anti-abortion extremists in her bid for a seat on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Knowing the importance of state courts in the fight for abortion rights and access, Reproductive Freedom for All endorsed Judge Daniel McCaffery for the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in early October.

Reproductive Freedom for All President and CEO Mini Timmaraju released the following statement:

“We simply cannot risk having a judge on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court who refuses to recognize our fundamental rights. Carolyn Carluccio’s ties to anti-abortion groups are proof positive of her loyalties and show exactly how out of touch she is with the values of the vast majority of Pennsylvanians.”

Over the last several weeks, Carluccio secured national anti-abortion endorsements and has seen thousands of anti-abortion activists rally in support of her campaign. Many of these organizations enthusiastically endorsed Carluccio in the primary when she displayed her anti-abortion credentials on her website. Following the primary, Carluccio erased the anti-abortion language from her website.
