ICYMI: Bucks County Beacon: Senator Bob Casey Reminds Bucks County Voters That Women’s Reproductive Freedom Is on the Ballot in November

  • Casey was the keynote speaker for a reproductive rights panel at Crossing Vineyards and Winery in Wrightstown hosted by Red Wine and Blue, where he was joined by the group’s State Director Ronna Dewey and Dr. Jessica Klemens, PhD., an OBGYN in Montgomery County. Casey faces anti-choice Republican Dave McCormick in a very consequential election for the future of women’s rights and reproductive freedom in the U.S. 
  • “I’m concerned that as much of a setback for women’s rights as Dobbs was, and the overturning of a 49-year right so a daughter or granddaughter has less rights than her mother or grandmother, it could go in an even more extreme direction with this presidential ticket coming in and having a Senate majority,” said Casey. “If my opponent were to win, he would be part of a MAGA majority, which I don’t think many Americans support. So I think the more people know about the differences, the better we are going to do.”
  • The event, which lasted a little over a half hour, was dedicated to informing voters on the importance of protecting abortion rights and other reproductive rights and the real life impact it has for women. 
  • “It’s important for me as a candidate to have these discussions with voters and with folks who are right in the middle of this,” said Casey. “To hear Dr. Klemens describe the real-world implications of this post-Dobbs world puts into sharp contrast what I stand for and what my opponent stands for. So it does give people a sense of what is at stake.”
  • “Having Senator Casey here sharing what’s going on in Washington is extremely important and informative,” said Dewey. “So many people do not know what is at stake. They have heard about the Dobbs decision, especially in Pennsylvania, they say, ‘Well that doesn’t affect me.’”
