Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf, a Democrat, has vowed to veto any “any anti-choice bill that lands on my desk,” in reaction to recent bills in several states seeking to ban abortion.
"I just want you to know, that if a such bill were to ever come to my desk, I would veto it," Wolf said in a video released on Twitter Thursday.
Wolf added in the caption that he is "appalled by legislation in Alabama, Georgia, and even here in Pennsylvania that limits a woman's right to choose."
"I'll veto any anti-choice bill that lands on my desk. I won't let our commonwealth go backward on reproductive rights," he wrote.
The Pennsylvania House recently passed a bill banning abortions when based on a prenatal Down syndrome diagnosis, but a similar bill failed to pass in the state Senate last year. In 2017, the governor vetoed a bill that would have made it a crime to perform an abortion after 20 weeks.
Ohio and George recently passed bills that would ban abortion after about six weeks. Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed a law on Wednesday that places strict penalties on doctors who perform an abortion.
