COLUMBUS, OH – Today, Senator Sherrod Brown released the following statement in response to Bernie Moreno calling Ohio women “
a little crazy” for wanting to make their own health care decisions and mocking women over 50 years old who care about the issue, which was caught on tape at a weekend event and first reported yesterday by
WCMH.
“Bernie Moreno has once again shown us exactly who he is and that he thinks he knows better than the 57% of Ohioans who made themselves clear on this issue. The people of Ohio think women should have the power to make their own health care decisions, Bernie Moreno thinks he should. As a man over the age of 50, I care deeply about a woman’s right to make health care decisions for herself – for my daughters, my granddaughters, and all Ohio women, regardless of their age. Despite the majority of Ohioans agreeing, Moreno has made it clear he would overturn the will of Ohioans by passing a national abortion ban.”
Moreno has said he is “100% pro-life with no exceptions” and “absolute pro-life, no exceptions” and would support a national abortion ban, overturning the will of Ohioans who voted overwhelmingly to enshrine abortion rights into the state constitution just last year.
