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.'”

    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.

      What’s crazy to me is that they think that men don’t care about it either.

        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

          No, women are traditionally stored in binders. You have to slide them out of that plastic protector thingy.

        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.

      It was the response from a lot of people to COVID precautions that made me realize that a disturbing number of people are completely lacking in empathy, and don’t even understand it as a concept. They’re the people who truly did not understand why a person who isn’t at personal risk of complications would still do thinks like distance, wear a mask, or get vaccinated, because most of the benefits involve stopping the spread to others.

      This is exactly the same thing. Not only do they not care about other people, they genuinely do not understand the others do.

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

      I don’t have to be related to someone to be able to imagine what life would be like in their shoes, how what I would want to do if in their position might affect others, and ultimately whether or not we should ban something, provide aid for something, or ignore something.

      The republican electorate seems largely incapable of doing that, and that’s why republican officials act surprised when people vote for the good of anyone other than themselves.
