Bernie Moreno Faces Backlash Over Abortion Comments

Ohio Republican Senate candidate Bernie Moreno has faced backlash after calling it 'a little crazy' that some suburban women prioritize abortion rights when voting. During a town hall event, he questioned why women over 50 were concerned about abortion access, suggesting it wasn't an issue for them. His remarks were described by critics as disrespectful to the 57% of Ohioans who supported a constitutional amendment to protect abortion rights last year. Moreno's comments come as he campaigns against Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, who emphasizes women's reproductive rights. Brown responded, stating that women should have the power to make their own health care decisions. Despite GOP optimism about flipping the Ohio seat, Moreno's comments may complicate his campaign as abortion remains a critical issue for voters.
