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.

    Aaaaaand the patient is dead, turns out Jesus is a really bad surgeon. And then they’ll sue when it turns out relying on thoughts and prayers makes for a really shit healthcare system. Somehow they’re unwilling to accept “it’s all part of gods plan” as a malpractice defense either.
