In case you missed it, Jon Ossoff joined every Democrat in voting against a measure that would define the term “pregnancy,” and ensure “that federal pregnancy programs are intended for those capable of becoming pregnant.” Read more from the Daily Wire here or below.
“Just about every Georgian would agree that only women can get pregnant, but not Jon Ossoff. This isn’t surprising coming from a radical leftist like Ossoff who wants men in women’s sports and bathrooms too,” said NRSC Regional Press Secretary Nick Puglia.

Among the votes drawing renewed scrutiny is his opposition to a Senate motion that sought to define pregnancy-related programs around the biological reality of pregnancy itself. The proposal would have clarified that federal pregnancy programs are intended for those capable of becoming pregnant. Ossoff voted against it, along with all other Democrats.That vote may seem obscure compared to a hospital closure or a Medicaid debate, but it raises a larger question: if pregnancy and maternity care are issues specifically affecting women, why oppose efforts to define them as such?
Healthcare has become one of the senator’s preferred political battlegrounds ahead of the midterms. Ossoff routinely frames debates through the language of mothers, pregnant women, and families. His criticism of the St. Mary’s decision was built around the image of women going into labor and needing care close to home.At the same time, his voting record reflects support for a broader Left-wing framework that increasingly avoids sex-based definitions in favor of language based on so-called gender identity.
Ossoff posted his criticism of the GOP over St. Mary’s labor and delivery services closure as the Republican-controlled Congress and the Trump administration scaled back some health spending. The hospital, however, said the decision followed roughly 18 months of review and was driven by a combination of factors, according to reporting by the Daily Caller.
Among the reasons for the decision were physician recruitment challenges, demographic changes, and declining utilization rates. Financial records also showed the facility had struggled for years before the announcement, yet Ossoff reduced the issue to a partisan attack.
…
Now, the debate is no longer simply about healthcare. It is about whether voters see Ossoff as a principled advocate or a politician whose definitions change depending on which argument is most useful at the moment. For a candidate asking Georgians to trust him on healthcare, that distinction could matter even more in the coming months.

Ossoff did not respond to a request for comment.
