It's official: no more needing to miss valuable class time out of shame for a basic, normal bodily function! As part of the 2024-25 budget, schools across our Commonwealth will get the money they need to supply menstrual products to students who need them. #WHCWin... Period! 👏

Because we came together and worked across the aisle, we’ll fund free tampons and pads at our schools for the first time ever — so no girl is forced to miss days of learning just because she’s on her period.

Pennsylvania's Supreme Court ruled that the she state ban on Medicaid coverage for abortion services amounts to sex-based discrimination. So today, my Administration went to the courts to say clearly: the ban imposes an unsustainable burden on women and violates our state

Pennsylvania's Medicaid abortion ban prevents low-income Pennsylvanians from getting the abortion care they need. Yesterday, Governor Josh Shapiro announced his Administration will not defend this ban in court! #AbortionIsHealthcare 🙌

Last year, our bipartisan budget made the first state investment in maternal mortality in Pennsylvania history.    I promised that would just be the start — and this year, we delivered again.    We worked together to double funding to address maternal mortality and keep moms and

Period. 💯

Today is #WorldIVFDay and I am leading the fight with @RepOmara & Rep. Steve Malagari to support Pennsylvanians struggling with infertility. To uplift #IVF and assisted reproductive technology, we sponsored HR483 declaring July 25 World IVF Day in PA! #repmayes

The 2024-25 #PAbudget has over $2.5 million set aside to implement prevention strategies to reduce maternal mortality and morbidity. The Pennsylvania Women's Health Caucus and PA Black Maternal Health Caucus have worked incredibly hard to address this serious issue.

The Pennsylvania Women's Health Caucus and PA Black Maternal Health Caucus have been diligently working to address maternal mortality and morbidity in Pennsylvania. Their hard work paid off this year, as the 2024-25 #PAbudget has over $2.5 million set aside to implement prevention strategies to address this issue.

Doula care can be a life-saving resource during pregnancy, childbirth, and the post-partum period. We need increased access to doula care across the Commonwealth-- a major part of PA Black Maternal Health Caucus's #PAMomnibus! Every mom and baby deserves a healthy, happy start. 💛

Protecting women’s healthcare goes beyond protecting reproductive rights. Our healthcare system must ensure women have the right to make their own healthcare decisions, have access to affordable mental health resources, and are adequately cared for in emergency settings.

As we near the end of #WorldBreastfeedingWeek, we celebrate the benefits of breastfeeding for both parents and newborns. We must support #breastfeeding families and ensure they have the safe spaces and accessible resources they need. #repmayes

Menstrual equity is pro- life, family, jobs, education, and people. Proud of the funding Governor Josh Shapiro, First Lady Lori Shapiro, Pennsylvania Women's Health Caucus, PA Black Maternal Health Caucus and I were able to secure to make free period products available in our schools here in PA.

We are so proud of our co-chair Sen. Judy Schwank for her work championing this issue! This permanent WIC Advisory Board will ensure moms & kids in our Commonwealth have the food they need to live a healthy, happy life. 💛

Yesterday, three of our co-chairs Sen. Judy Schwank, Senator Amanda Cappelletti, & Mary Jo Daley participated in a roundtable on women's health and this year's state budget. 2024 has been a huge year for women's health! For more info on the budget, click the link in our bio! #PAWHC

Last week, my staff joined Senator Amanda Cappelletti, Sen. Judy Schwank, & Mary Jo Daley for a panel discussion with our friends from Mitzvah Circle, Maternity Care Coalition, Main Line Health, and PA Department of Health to discuss how the #PABudget supports critical women's health initiatives.

104 years ago, women weren't just handed the right to vote. We won it. That's why today, we proudly celebrate Women's Equality Day! #VotesForWomen 💛

The world is better with you in it. Today and every day, we want to remind folks that if you are struggling you can call or text 988 to receive help through the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

Together, we can work to prevent suicide by having open, honest conversations about our mental health with one another. You matter, and you are never alone. 💛 #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #StartTheConversation

This week, my Administration began delivering funding so every school district can provide free pads and tampons to girls who need them. These free period products will reduce stress for girls and make sure they can learn without distractions. I’m thankful for the countless
