will this get out more women voters in Ohio? will it help at the top of the ticket Moreno's abortion comment rattles debate in expensive Senate race in Ohio | AP News An off-the-cuff comment about reproductive rights by Republican Bernie Moreno in Ohio’s tight Senate race has put abortion at the center of debate in the most expensive Senate campaign this year. And that’s just where Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown wanted it. Moreno insists he was joking after cellphone video surfaced of him criticizing women whose votes are driven by concerns about government involvement in abortion decisions. “Sadly, by the way, there’s a lot of suburban women, a lot of suburban women that are like, ‘Listen, abortion is it,’” Moreno said at a town hall in Warren County on Sept. 20. ”‘If I can’t have an abortion in this country whenever I want, I will vote for anybody else.’ OK. It’s a little crazy, by the way, but — especially for women who are like past 50, I’m thinking to myself, ‘I don’t think that’s an issue for you.’” .................. Even fellow Republican Nikki Haley, the former presidential candidate, criticized Moreno as #ToneDeaf. “Are you trying to lose the election? Asking for a friend,” she quipped on X. ........... Throughout the race, Brown has said he voted for and would honor an amendment that Ohioans supported by wide margins last year that enshrined into the state constitution people’s right to make their own reproductive choices. Presidential nominee Kamala Harris and Democrats on down the ballot are banking on the abortion issue to win votes in the first White House election since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.
You know it's bad when Trumpy Nikk comes out so forcefully as to say that your comment is "tone deaf."
Typical idiotic republican commentary. It's not about access to abortion primarily. It's about having their bodily autonomy taken away and being classified as a group not having the same rights to personal choices as the other half of the citizenry.
I was in Ohio last week and it was non-stop Brown/Moreno ads, sometimes it would be like 3-4 in a row. The Brown ones were almost all focused on abortion and using Moreno's comments.
like 50 year old women don't have children and grandchildren that they want to have the same rights as they did
Weird and pretty ironic a 50 yr old woman would fight to ensure her offspring would have the right to kill their unborn offspring.
It's not about abortion primarily? Ha. Ok. And men have the right to kill an unborn baby? News to me. And what's with masquerading it as "reproductive rights?" Saying pro abortion make people who approve of it feel guilty?
There are no laws on the books anywhere forcing men to do anything about what is going on inside their bodies.
