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.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    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.

    As the couple continues 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, she wound up in intensive care with sepsis, according to the ad.

    The campaign also said the ad will air on popular entertainment and sports programming on stations like ESPN, Comedy Central, FX and TNT and during prime-time shows such as “Saturday Night Live,” “The Voice,” “American Idol,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Abbott Elementary.”

    The couple told NBC News in February that they were planning to move her frozen embryos out of Texas in case the state stops providing in vitro fertilization services.

    Biden and Democrats hope the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the 1973 landmark Roe ruling will benefit them at the ballot box in November, just as the key issue of reproductive rights helped the party’s candidates in the 2022 midterm elections.
