This Past Week at the PA Capitol

Al Gnoza — Fri, 19 Dec 2025 15:21:10 +0000

It was just the House in session this past week in Harrisburg, but it was an eventful two days of activity. Democratic leadership pulled a procedural move to bury a bill that would prevent biological males from playing female sports in PA. Plus, there was extensive debate–mostly from Republicans–on a bill to expand the time for women to have a legal abortion in the state.
