Women who are 50 often have daughters of reproductive age.
And then there are some - some - who may even have empathy for non-relatives in different situations than them. Nah. That's crazy talk.

This is the most closed minded thing I think of.
Oh XXX doesn’t directly affect you; therefore there is no reason you so be bothered by it.
The hell! As you said “daughters” and sisters, nieces, grandchildren ANY OTHER EFFING WOMEN they might know?!!?
What a fuckwit
Funny. Gay people don't directly affect them, yet they are bothered by it
That is the thinking for many Republicans unfortunately. If they are not directly affected, they simply don't care.
Also, everything doesn't just magically stop working on your 49th birthday.
It’s a little crazy, by the way, but — especially for women who are like past 50, I’m thinking to myself, ‘I don’t think that’s an issue for you.’
You know, someone very close to me is 50 and hasn't hit menopause. Pregnancy could be dangerous for her. She would probably care a lot about this. This man is an asshole.
Women know how messy and complicated women’s reproductive health can be. Even women lucky enough to never have any issues have comforted family and friends as they navigate pregnancies, miscarriages, cysts, tumors, endometriosis, sexual assault, etc. The male dinosaurs in the Senate are from an era when they would refuse to hear any of the messy details of any “woman’s problems “ or “female troubles “ , yet are happy to pop off at the mouth about abortion, birth control and Planned Parenthood. Fuck this smug, ignorant asshole.
Mr. Moreno, I'm 35 (high risk age), my husband and I dont want kids, I have an IUD, and the military (as of rn) will give me convalescent leave if I ever had to go get an abortion.
Its not me I'm worried about.
I'm worried about the high school aged daughters of heavily Conservative parents. I'm worried about the lower socio-economic class people who cannot afford to travel for an abortion, and also cannot afford a child.
You CAN be scared for people without being personally affected. Just saying.
I have thought about and seen studies that conservative people don't have empathy, only sympathy or only have empathy for their inner circle while liberal people extend empathy for people that do not know.
I’m worried about girls like my girlfriend was once. A pregnant teenager smart enough to get out of nowhere and dumb enough to stay with the abusive jackass that knocked up a 16 year old. She’s the first to say she made the wrong choice not to have an abortion and it ain’t fuckin ok that some girls in that position don’t get to make their own choice on it anymore.
Mr Moreno can go fuck himself.
Selfishly voting instead of being compassionate towards people you might know? How very Republican.
I’m a man with a vasectomy and I still think abortion should be available to everyone.
What an idiot. Pregnancies in women over 35 are at the highest risk of miscarriage and genetic disorders.
I have a daughter who is on the spectrum, and these abortion laws terrify me. These fucking ghouls need to get out of people's business, man.
"Ha! Ha! Old women, amirite?? SO stupid to not vote fascist!"
Goddamn, Ohio.
Mr Moreno can fuck off. Senator Brown isn’t a flashy politician but he’s a good guy and a great progressive/labor politician. If he loses his seat he may very well wind up President at some point.
Despite this, the race is still pretty close.
As an independent currently in Ohio, this race feels like Trump vs Biden all over again.
