WATCH: McCormick Says Pennsylvania Must “Get Past” His Abortion Position During Senate Debate
PENNSYLVANIA – On MSNBC’s Katie Phang Show, Senator Bob Casey called out his Republican opponent, David McCormick, for saying McCormick’s abortion position is something voters need to “get past.”
Katie Phang: “In your debate last week with Dave McCormick, your opponent, McCormick called abortion rights as quote, ‘Something that we need to get past.’ How out of step is he with voters in Pennsylvania when it comes to reproductive rights?”
Casey: “He’s way out of step. A lot of Pennsylvanians were insulted when they found out that in the aftermath of the Dobbs decision overturning Roe, he said that decision made him “very, very happy” […] He wants us to get past his extreme position. He wants us to get past this reality that in state after state these abortion bans are aren’t theory, they’re in place […] I don’t think the people of Pennsylvania want to get past that.
Casey: They want to make sure we pass the Women’s Health Protection Act but we can’t do that without a majority and we can’t do that without my race being successful.
