LEBANON, Ohio (WCMH) — Ohio’s Republican candidate for U.S. Senate questioned why a certain group of women would be concerned about abortion during an event in the state.

NBC4 obtained a video recording from a Warren County town hall on Friday, where GOP Senate hopeful Bernie Moreno accused suburban women of being focused solely on their ability to get an abortion.

“You know, the left has a lot of single issue voters,” Moreno said. “Sadly, by the way, there’s a lot of suburban women, a lot of suburban women that are like, ‘Listen, abortion is it. 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 that are like past 50 — I’m thinking to myself, ‘I don’t think that’s an issue for you.'”

    Hey assbag, those women over 50 have daughters, granddaughters, goddaughters, step-daughters, daughters-in-law, sisters, nieces, cousins, and (in at least two situations I personally know of) aunts who are younger than them who this would be an issue for. And not to mention all the men and NBs in their lives who support them and their health.

    So go fuck yourself.

        Why would a man care about his wife bleeding In a car with doctors refusing to help? Can’t he just get another one from the lady store? /s

        I have a 15 month old… I live in a red state with an abortion ban that started as a trigger law.

        The entire pregnancy I told my wife I’ll choose her Everytime and if we don’t get the care she needs… we will find it.

        Bodily autonomy was always important to me. My wife potentially dying and the maga government not caring has pushed me as far left as I need to go to always vote blue.

        Wife and kiddo were fine, 0 complications. We were fortunate. Not everyone is as lucky.

      He can’t picture someone having community and love, and caring about issues that might not affect them directly for selfish reasons.

    Crazy how people are worried about the rights of others

    And it’s not just abortion, it’s a matter of being able to make a decision about your own body without the Government telling you what you can/can’t do.

    “Bernie’s view is that women voters care just as much about the economy, rising prices, crime and our open southern border”

    Economy: almost crashed into a recession because of Trump ignoring covid

    Rising prices: because the Republicans killed the price gouging act

    Crime: at like 50 year lows

    Open border: because Trump had the Republicans kill the Border deal that Sen Langford (a hardcore republican) negotiated and got everything the Republicans wanted.

    But yes. Tell millions of women they are crazy.

    You know, he’s not wrong, I’m a single issue left voter. As long as a fascist dictator is on the ballot I simply can’t vote for them.

      Where the fuck does he think the women under fifty fucking came from?

      We’ve got 4 daughters. You’d better fucking believe their human rights are important to us. Do they think agency and autonomy are fucking academic issues to women?

    Bold move to say this in a state where we just put an amendment in about it that passed with 57% of the vote.

    But seriously, this guy is an asshole anyway that steals from his employees.

    the left has a lot of single issue voters

    Really, because it’s difficult to find a right-wing voter whose “freedoms” they seem to go bonkers over is guns.

    Seriously, next time a right-winger s is shouting about the “freedoms” others are taking away, ask em to name 1 of those freedoms…that isn’t guns.

    Is this ghoul trying to set simultaneous records in condescension, hypocrisy and contempt for women?

    Because if he is, it’s a good attempt and if he’s trying to do literally anything else, it’s abysmal 🤬

    It’s just projection they know that they’re in base or single issue voters against abortion. The speech is simply a tool to make sure they remember that and they stay on the line.
