President Joe Bidenās campaign released its latestĀ abortion ad of the electionĀ hours after formerĀ President Donald Trump saidĀ 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 onĀ Amanda Zurawski, a Texas womanĀ who sued the stateĀ 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.
āAt 18 weeks, Amandaās water broke,ā the adās text said. āShe had a miscarriage.ā
As the couple continued to recount memories of the pregnancy, text on the screen read, āBecause Donald Trump killed Roe v. Wade, Amanda was denied standard medical care to prevent infection, an abortion.ā
Doctors were forced to send Amanda home and three days later, Amanda wound up in the ICU with sepsis, according to the ad.
The pro-lifers that think there should just be an exceptions when motherās life is at risk need to also hear that the Texas law already has an exemption for when a doctor uses their āreasonable medical judgmentā that the life of the mother is at risk or the pregnancy poses āa serious risk of substantial impairment of a major bodily function.ā
All pregnancies are a risk to the motherās life, anytime a doctor performs an abortion in Texas they risk losing their license, and possibly even prison time. Which is why we have these case of mothers with unviable pregnancies that arenāt terminated until theyāre almost dead.
If you care about life, why on earth would you support a law that takes informed medical decisions away from doctors and their patients to put it in the hands of lawyers and lawmakers?
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, wasnāt 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 āHey, Iām dying, I need Healthcareā and the Texas government going āLOL get fucked.ā 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 womanās life.
More people need to see/hear/know about whatās 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).
