"Reproductive healthcare decisions are among the most personal a woman will ever make. They're choices that should be made by you and your doctor. And the last people who should be involved are these guys," the ad tells viewers.
It then cuts to footage of former President Donald Trump, who said, "I'm the one that got rid of Roe v. Wade," referring to his appointment of three conservative justices to the Supreme Court that decided the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization case in 2022.
A clip of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) at the debate is also played, during which he says, "I believe in a culture of life."
Neither Trump nor DeSantis have committed to signing a national ban on abortion, despite pressure from prominent anti-abortion organizations.
The ad then pivots to Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), playing part of an interview when he said, "If I were president of the United States, I would literally sign the most conservative pro-life legislation that they can get through Congress." Scott has recently committed to signing Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America's minimum standard of legislation, a 15-week limit on abortion.
According to the ad, "President Biden and Vice President Harris are determined to restore Roe v. Wade, and they will never allow a national abortion ban to become law as long as they are in office. Decisions about your body will be made by you, not by them."
