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 the incumbent Democrat, Senator Brown, wanted it.
Mr. 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.
You’ve got to love it when the trash takes itself out like this.

>“Sadly, by the way, there’s a lot of suburban women, a lot of suburban women that are like, ‘Listen, abortion is it,’” Mr. Moreno said at a town hall at Warren County on September 20.
>The GOP candidate added: ”‘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.’”
The man is utterly unfamiliar with the concept of caring about other people.

And Ohio has already shown up to the polls in support of abortion rights. He deserves to have this cost him dearly. Would be something if it affected the Presidential race, too.

One of the things that stupid people do is think of things to say (or steal something someone else said) that they think makes them sound clever. He honestly expected people to hear that and think “Good point!”

When even Nikki Hailey says you’re tone deaf, you know you done fucked up.

It’s time to end gender affirming care for Republicans. No more viagra and testosterone for those limp dick pansies.

Republicans see women and solely the property of men and seek to control their sexuality.

Fuck this guy.
I am over 50 and I will never need an abortion again in my lifetime. But my reproductive-aged daughter might, and my granddaughter also might someday.
There is no logical reason why they should have less rights to their bodies than I did at their age.

This says a lot about the Republican mindset generally. The certainly believe in self-interest and assume that is all anyone cares. He doesn’t understand that to run a free society requires **enlightened** self-interest. It is that enlightenment that makes women over 50 (and men of all ages) oppose government-forced birth.

The woman’s ability to procreate should never be used against her.

Imagine caring about what happens to other people. Republicans can’t.
