Fetterman draws three thousand energized voters in Montgomery County event on reproductive rights
PENNSYLVANIA –Yesterday John Fetterman held a rally on reproductive rights in Montgomery County that drew three thousand people, highlighting just how much enthusiasm is behind this surging campaign, and how important reproductive rights are going to be in this race.
Read what they are saying below:
- Philadelphia Inquirer, ‘Women are the reason we can win,’ John Fetterman says at packed abortion-rights rally in Montco: For Democrats like Fetterman running in tight races just months after the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to an abortion, the issue could be a difference-maker, particularly in motivating voters in areas like the Philadelphia suburbs, where Democratic turnout has swelled in recent years and support for abortion access is high.
- @JuliaTerruso:
- Insider, John Fetterman addresses thousands outside Philadelphia, promises to be ’51st vote’ for abortion rights: It was a risky play, pitting a midterm election rally against the opening day of Philadelphia Eagles football. But the bet was that voters in this blue-leaning suburb would care more about abortion rights than Jalen Hurts’ ability to hit receivers downfield…In all, more than 3,000 people attended.
- USA Today, At rally for Dem Senate candidate in Pennsylvania – and beyond – abortion takes center stage: Dr. Mark Lopatin said he is more motivated to vote in November than in years past. A registered Republican in suburban Philadelphia, he has voted for both major parties. Thisyear he’s voting for Democratic candidates who support abortion rights. “It’s a medical issue,” he said. “The physician-patient relationship is the most sacred thing in healthcare, and it’s being destroyed.”
- Fox 29, Democratic Senate candidate Lt. Gov. John Fetterman holds Montgomery County rally: Women’s rights and abortion rights were top of mind for voters who turned out Sunday, many waiting in a line wrapped around Montgomery County Community College, in the rain. John Fetterman supporter, Susan Wendt, stated, “We are concerned about our democracy.”
