Maybe most women over 50 never heard Moreno's speech, but. . . Wow. Clearly the abortion bans are dangerously affecting women over child-bearing age, in addition to women in child-bearing age.

The Lancet recently reported about 33% of Oncologists surveyed said abortion bans limit the care they need to give to patients.

Plus, some of the banned medicines are routine essential prescriptions for likely many women over 50 with chronic conditions like leukemia, breast cancer, lupus, Rheumatoid arthritis, etc. I would imagine many of women over 50 in Ohio, and their families would not take kindly to Bernie Moreno's ridiculing them if those women need care banned by abortion bans.
