‘Don’t piss women off’: Democrat John Fetterman makes abortion rights push in Philadelphia suburbs
Blue Bell, Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania’s Democratic Senate nominee John Fetterman and top allies on Sunday hammered Republican Mehmet Oz over past remarks calling abortion “murder” and warned that Oz would be a “rubber stamp” for a national ban.
“Women are the reason we can win,” Fetterman said. “Don’t piss women off.”
The packed rally, which featured aides, volunteers and supporters wearing pink T-shirts with “Fetterwoman” written across the chest and a “Women for Fetterman” sign posted over the speakers, marked Fetterman’s most direct effort yet to appeal to suburban voters angry about the Supreme Court’s June ruling overturning federal abortion rights.
Pennsylvania’s Senate seat is a top pickup opportunity for Democrats looking to hold onto their narrow Senate majority, and Democrats across the country have turned to abortion rights to galvanize their base heading into November.
“If every abortion is a murder, that means that Dr. Oz considers every woman who had to choose an abortion is a killer,” Fetterman said. “Think about that.”

Introducing the Democratic candidate, Gisele Barreto Fetterman, his wife, tried make the stakes clear – echoing a line that Democrats across the country have adopted since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
“This November,” she said, “abortion rights are on the ballot here in Pennsylvania.”
