Tim Walz speaks about abortion during the last campaign meeting with voters in Michigan

Tim Walz spoke about abortion rights to cap off his final campaign rally before Election Day during a barely five-minute speech to Michigan voters Monday night.

At a star-studded campaign rally from Hart Plaza in downtown Detroit on Election Day night that included a performance by Jon Bon Jovi and others, Walz told attendees he wanted to talk to them about “one issue in particular.”

“Everything is at stake,” Walz began in his brief address from downtown Detroit. “But I want to take tonight to talk about a topic that really underscores the stakes of this election. So let me talk to the guys in the crowd tonight. I want you to think about the women in your life that you love . Their lives are on the line in this election,” Walz continued, before slamming Trump for appointing “Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade.”

Walz lamented that women were allegedly turned away from emergency rooms and forced to have abortions in the parking lot, and blamed Trump and the work he did to overturn federal abortion protections.

Such claims by Walz — that the state’s abortion laws have resulted in the deaths of pregnant women — previously earned him heat on the campaign trail from OB-GYNS, which condemned Walz for claiming a Georgia woman died because of the state’s abortion laws during a debate with his opponent , Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio.
