The Biden campaign is blasting former President Donald Trump over abortion rights in a new TV ad coinciding with the two-year anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade and days ahead of the first presidential debate. The ad, which was first shared with CNN, features a testimonial from Kaitlyn Joshua, a Louisiana woman who says she was turned away from two emergency rooms while experiencing a miscarriage at 11 weeks of pregnancy. She describes her experience as “a direct result of Donald Trump overturning Roe v. Wade” and slams presumptive GOP presidential nominee. “He’s now a convicted felon,” Joshua says in the ad as an image of Trump in court flashes across the screen. “Trump thinks he should not be held accountable for his own criminal actions, but he will let women and doctors be punished.” (The former president was convicted in May on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records and faces sentencing next month.) “We want to support someone that does have our best interests at heart, and that’s why I’m so adamant about supporting President Biden,” adds Joshua, who is set to join second gentleman Doug Emhoff on Monday for a Michigan event marking the second anniversary of Roe’s reversal. The 30-second spot highlights an issue the campaign sees as key to rallying voters, especially the young and female blocs that are crucial to his reelection chances. The ad, which marks the second time President Joe Biden’s campaign has used Trump’s felony conviction in its advertising, will run on television and internet-connected TV in battleground states and on national cable as part of the campaign’s $50 million ad push in June. The new advertisement is part of the Biden campaign’s efforts to highlight reproductive rights around the two-year anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision, which it has tied to Trump’s appointments of conservative justices.
