The video ad quotes Trump saying “I’m the one that got rid of Roe v. Wade” and then discusses Gov. Ron DeSantis signing a six-week abortion ban in Florida. It then pans to a presidential primary debate answer in which DeSantis says, “I believe in a culture of life.” It goes on to quote Sen. Tim Scott saying, “If I were president of the United States, I would literally sign the most conservative pro-life legislation that they can get through Congress.”
Another quote referenced Trump’s 2016 comments in which he said there should be “some form of punishment” for a woman who has an abortion. The former president walked back those comments after making them.
The ad references the Biden administration’s efforts to codify Roe v. Wade into federal law, which would prevent states from restricting abortion before viability. This occurs around 24 weeks of pregnancy. It also states that the Biden administration opposes a federal ban on abortion.
“As long as [Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris] are in office, decisions about your body will be made by you; not by them,” the ad finishes.
The ad is already receiving criticism from pro-life organizations who are labeling Biden’s abortion policies as extreme.
“Joe Biden is the most pro-abortion president in the history of our nation, and this ad shows just how extreme he is,” Laura Echevarria, a spokesperson for National Right to Life, told CNA. “The issue of abortion is behind many of the policies enacted by the Biden White House — policies based on Joe Biden’s demand for a ‘whole-of-government’ approach to promote and protect unlimited abortion.”
