Republican, Independent Ohioans In Cincinnati Slam Bernie Moreno For Mocking Ohio Women For Wanting to Make Their Own Health Care Decisions

CINCINNATI, OH – Today, Republican and Independent Ohioans slammed Bernie Moreno for insulting Ohioans by calling women “a little crazy” for wanting to make their own health care decisions. The comments were first reported by WCMH.

While Sherrod stands with the majority of Ohioans who believe a woman’s health care decisions should be between her and her doctor, 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.

“It is insulting that Bernie Moreno would have the gall to so blatantly disrespect Ohioans by supporting a national abortion ban that would overturn the will of voters,” said Jenny Conrad, a Republican voter and self-identified Independent. “I believe that women should have the ability to make their own health care choices without interference from people like Moreno and it’s not ‘crazy’ to care about the rights of others, even though Moreno might think so.”

“When I heard Bernie Moreno call Ohio women ‘a little crazy’ for caring about what happens to our own bodies, all I could think was: How DARE he,” said Joyce Purcell, a Republican. “Moreno thinks he knows better than us, and the fact that he doesn’t understand why this issue matters so much to women speaks to his character. Moreno will vote for a national abortion ban, which would overrule our voices and put women’s lives in danger.”
