I just signed an executive order to further uphold abortion rights in Pennsylvania.

This action protects our abortion providers and people who seek abortion from out-of-state from prosecution.

Abortion remains safe and legal here.

[Dr. Julie Gurner @drgurner]

The questions you ask yourself will largely determine the answers you get.

- “Why am I not successful?” You’ll get answers that berate you.
- “How can I succeed here?” You’ll get answers that push you.
