		DEMOCRATS
Shaughnessy Naughton http://shaugh nessy for congress. com/		“A judge just threw out Pennsylvania's ban on gay marriage! This is wonderful news for families in the 8th District and across the state, and a big win for civil equality….in Congress I will continue to fight for equal rights” (https://www.facebook.com/ShaughnessyForCongress/posts/461783367301267)	“When elected to Congress I will fight to: • Keep politicians out of women’s private healthcare decisions • Ensure access to quality, affordable health care, including reproductive health care” (http://shaughnessyforcongress.com/issues/) Emily’s List endorsee (cf, http://shaughnessyforcongress.com/issues/)
Steve Santarsiero (Pa State Rep) http:// santar siero for congress.com/		“In the legislature he co-sponsored HB 300, which protects Pennsylvanians from discrimination based on their sexual orientation.  He fought for marriage equality long before it was popular and called on the Supreme Court to rule in favor of equal rights” (http://santarsieroforcongress.com/issues/equal-rights/). Co-sponsor of HB 1510, which has been called “intolerant and prejudiced against people of faith”  (Pa Catholic Conference).	“He has also stood up for the reproductive rights of women. Time and again, Steve has had to stand up to attempts to limit women’s access to reproductive care, shut down women’s health organizations, and the Corbett Administration’s proposed invasive ultrasound bill” (http://santarsieroforcongress.com/issues/equal-rights/). Planned Parenthood rated his “Position on Reproductive Rights” as “supports” and his “Position on Preventative Healthcare” as “supports” (http://www.plannedparenthoodpa.org/legislature/legislative-scorecard/).
