The ad was released hours after Trump said that he believes abortion laws should be left to the states, sidestepping the national ban that some of his supporters want.
President Joe Biden’s campaign released its latest abortion ad of the election hours after former President Donald Trump said he believes abortion laws should be left to the states, sidestepping the national ban that some of his supporters want.
The 60-second ad, which first aired Monday on MSNBC, focuses on Amanda Zurawski, a Texas woman who sued the state after, she said, she almost died from a miscarriage. In the video, Zurawski and her husband, Josh, discuss how they had started buying things for the baby while Amanda was pregnant, including a baby book.
“At 18 weeks, Amanda’s water broke,” the ad’s text said. “She had a miscarriage.”
As the couple continued to recount memories of the pregnancy, text on the screen read, “Because Donald Trump killed Roe v. Wade, Amanda was denied standard medical care to prevent infection, an abortion.”
Doctors were forced to send Amanda home and three days later, Amanda wound up in the ICU with sepsis, according to the ad.
Bruh, Kate Cox, actually got a judge in Texas to agree that she should be able to get an abortion because both her AND her baby were at risk of not surviving. Her baby, unfortunately, wasn’t going to live long if it made it to term anyhow, it was going to have a difficult short life full of suffering, and she was at risk of dying if she delivered. She also already had 2 children at home.
And Ken fucking Paxton, the Texas Attorney General, fucking overturned the judges allowance and Kate Cox ended up having to flee with her husband to a different state to get the procedure instead.
It was the quintessential “Hey, I’m dying, I need Healthcare” and the Texas government going “LOL get fucked.” I cannot imagine what her and her husband went through mentally. To know that the government was actively stepping in to prevent anyone from saving that woman’s life.
More people need to see/hear/know about what’s happening in Texas. These ads need to highlight how much worse it really is here after the repeal of RvW (and it was pretty fucking bad before).
