ARTICLE AD BOX
Within hours of Donald Trump’s clumsy, lie-filled attempt to blunt the issue of abortion by saying he would let states decide its legality, the Biden-Harris campaign released a new 60-second ad revealing the tragedies unleashed by Republican abortion bans across the country.
The ad, which first aired Monday on MSNBC, centers on a couple in Austin, Texas. Josh and Amanda Zurawski were eagerly awaiting the birth of a baby girl when Amanda's water broke early, at just 18 weeks of pregnancy, and she had a miscarriage.
The ad shows the couple sifting through keepsakes they collected in anticipation of their baby daughter—like the outfit they planned to bring her home from the hospital in—as text relays the horror of their story.
"Because Donald Trump killed Roe v Wade, Amanda was denied standard medical care to prevent infection, an abortion," the text says. "Doctors were forced to send her home."
Three days after her water broke, Amanda ended up in the ICU with sepsis.
