“Women are the reason we can win,” Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman said in Blue Bell on Sunday. “Lemme say that again: Women are the reason we win. Don’t piss women off.”
John Fetterman looked out at a gymnasium packed with people wearing bright pink “Fetterwoman” T-shirts and predicted that women would be the difference-maker in his closely watched Senate race.
And Alexis McGill Johnson, president of Planned Parenthood, led the crowd in a “We won’t go back! We won’t back down!” chant, saying electing Oz “would cost women their lives.” In Kansas, a state that former President Donald Trump won by double digits, voters overwhelmingly rejected a ballot initiative clarifying that the state constitution does not protect abortion.
Fetterman said during a primary debate that he does not believe in politicians putting any restrictions on abortion., which passed the U.S. House but doesn’t have the votes to pass in the Senate. The act would protect abortion rights up to the point of fetal viability, which is typically around 24 weeks.Republicans have acknowledged momentum in the suburbs is concerning but on the whole predict limits to how motivating a single issue will be.
At the rally on Sunday, U.S. Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon said voters are facing “government mandated pregnancy ... children being forced to bear children, and restrictions on women’s freedom to travel to obtain health care.”
