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.

“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.’”

Brown and his allies pounced on the comment, which went to the heart of the Democrat’s bid for a fourth term representing the Republican-leaning state. A woman featured in one TV ad wondered why, if a 50-year-old woman doesn’t have standing to feel strongly about abortion, a 57-year-old man — that’s Moreno’s age — running for Senate would.

Mr. Moreno, I'm 35 (high risk age), my husband and I dont want kids, I have an IUD, and the military (as of rn) will give me convalescent leave if I ever had to go get an abortion.

Its not me I'm worried about.

I'm worried about the high school aged daughters of heavily Conservative parents. I'm worried about the lower socio-economic class people who cannot afford to travel for an abortion, and also cannot afford a child.

You CAN be scared for people without being personally affected. Just saying.

I have thought about and seen studies that conservative people don't have empathy, only sympathy or only have empathy for their inner circle while liberal people extend empathy for people that do not know.

I’m worried about girls like my girlfriend was once. A pregnant teenager smart enough to get out of nowhere and dumb enough to stay with the abusive jackass that knocked up a 16 year old. She’s the first to say she made the wrong choice not to have an abortion and it ain’t fuckin ok that some girls in that position don’t get to make their own choice on it anymore.

Mr Moreno can go fuck himself.
