Bernie Moreno, a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in Ohio, has come under fire for remarks made during a town hall where he questioned why women over 50 are concerned about abortion rights.
Moreno referred to these women as 'a little crazy' and suggested that abortion is not an issue for them due to their age. His comments have sparked backlash, particularly from women’s rights advocates, who argue that abortion is a broader issue of bodily autonomy and healthcare.
The controversy highlights the ongoing political debate over abortion rights in Ohio and across the U.S.

Sounds like another politician trying to tell people how to live their lives—how about letting individuals make their own choices without government interference?

Moreno's comments just show how out of touch some politicians are with women's rights and healthcare. It’s not just about the ability to have kids—it’s about bodily autonomy and the right to make decisions about your own life. Dismissing concerns from women over 50 is condescending and totally misses the point. This is exactly why we need to keep fighting to protect reproductive rights for everyone.
