The New Republic: “[Moreno] Believes That Women Don’t Actually Need Abortions, Just Someone To Lift Heavy Things Such As Strollers For Them”
Columbus, OH – At last night’s GOP Senate primary debate, Bernie Moreno claimed that women don’t need access to abortion, “just someone to lift heavy things such as strollers for them.” Moreno also doubled down in support of a national abortion ban – which would overrule the majority of Ohioans who “overwhelmingly voted to enshrine abortion protections in the state constitution” last year.

- A Republican candidate for Ohio senator believes that women don’t actually need abortions, just someone to lift heavy things such as strollers for them.
- During a discussion with all Republican primary candidates Monday night, the moderator asked the men for their stance on abortion and reproductive rights.
- Moreno said his daughter had recently flown home after visiting him. “Mom carrying what looks like an F1 team-worth of equipment,” Moreno said. “People helped her on that plane. Helped put the stroller away, helped her with her seat.” “Those are the kinds of things that we can do,” he said. “Let’s be a pro-mom, pro-family policy.”
- Moreno may also find that his opposition to abortion is pretty unpopular with Ohio voters. In November, people overwhelmingly voted to enshrine abortion protections in the state constitution.
