'Donald Trump did this': New Biden abortion ad features a woman who says she almost died because of the Texas ban

Source: NBC News

April 8, 2024, 1:14 PM EDT


President Joe Biden's campaign released its latest abortion ad of the 2024 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 on MSNBC Monday, 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 discussed 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 reads, "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. "She almost died twice," it said. "The infection caused so much damage, Amanda may never get pregnant again."

Brown face?

Does he not have an image consultant? A makeup person? A mirror?

If it were a little redder, you could honestly say "What a maroon!"

"You're having a massive heart attack. We could stop the damage from happening right now if we rushed you into the cath lab and stented the blocked artery, but the law says it's god's will that the heart attack evolves naturally. Come back when you start to black out. You can sleep in your car in the parking lot until that happens."

That's what these worthless asshole men are telling women.

Do you think we're angry? We're way past being angry.

THIS may be what wins the election for us. THIS issue. No choice or alternatives even in states like mine that haven’t made it illegal yet.

If you’re okay with the Body Snatchers moving into YOUR bedroom and doctor’s office (or those rooms of the people you care about), then do nothing about it now (when you could have made a difference).

The rest of us are gonna work our tails off - to keep our bodies OURS.

And if it’s not YOUR body under threat, it’s the body of someone you care about.

Gosh, but I hate this guy!
