US EditionPennsylvania voters weigh abortion rights in open state Supreme Court seat
- Pennsylvania voters will decide the outcome of an election for an open state Supreme Court seat, which has implications for the future of voting and abortion rights. Democrat Dan McCaffery and Republican Carolyn Carluccio are vying for the seat, although Democrats already hold a majority on the bench. Both candidates have highlighted their experience and positions on abortion rights, with McCaffery positioning himself as a defender of such rights and Carluccio emphasizing her endorsement by anti-abortion groups.
- The Pennsylvania Supreme Court, which currently has a 4-2 Democratic majority, has issued key decisions on election-related cases and upheld the constitutionality of the state's mail-in voting law. Its conservative rulings have sparked liberal discontent, and the impact of the court's decisions has become a central issue in Pennsylvania's top-of-the-ballot election. The court is currently examining challenges to a state law on public funding for abortions and Philadelphia's law on restricting the sale and possession of guns.
- High levels of campaign funding, including contributions from billionaire Jeffrey Yass and labor unions, have poured into the Supreme Court race, reflecting the importance of the outcome. The election will not shift the Democratic majority on the bench, but it will shape the court's future decisions on voting and abortion rights in a crucial battleground state.
