Riverlife is looking forward to expanded Waterfront Development Tax Credits for local projects The package was already approved once, and if passed by lawmakers again next year, could be put before voters in May of 2023. Wolf is bringing forward the suit with two arguments: The first, is that a right to an abortion is implied by the state Constitution, so the amendment itself is unconstitutional the second is that the process through which the GOP-controlled General Assembly passed the package of bills was also unconstitutional.Ĭonstitutional amendments need to pass both chambers in two consecutive two-year legislative sessions before going to voters for the final say. “This might be a political stunt because it's so unlikely that the case will be taken by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court,” says Bruce Ledewitz, a professor of law at Duquesne University specializing in state and federal constitutional law. Tom Wolf sued the Republican controlled legislature over its package of constitutional amendments. In Pennsylvania, GOP lawmakers are looking to change the state constitution to say would there is not a guaranteed right to abortion access, and banning the use of public funds for abortions.
