Tim Walz spoke about abortion rights in a barely five-minute address to Michigan voters Monday night to wrap up his final campaign rally before Election Day.

At a star-studded campaign rally at Hart Plaza in downtown Detroit on the eve of Election Day, which included an appearance by Jon Bon Jovi and others, Walz told rally attendees that he wanted to talk to them about “a particular topic.”

“Everything is at stake,” Walz began in his brief address from downtown Detroit. “But I want to use this evening to talk about a particular issue that really highlights how much is at stake. Let me speak to the men in the audience tonight. I want you to think about the women in your life who love you. “Their lives are at stake in this election,” Walz continued, before criticizing Trump for “appointing Supreme Court justices who Roe v. Wade picked up.”
