'Donald Trump did this': New Biden abortion ad features a woman who says she almost died because of the Texas ban

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 great. But for the die hard pro lifers they would simply say "well the baby died because of your actions. If God wanted you to die with it, you should have"

They are the worst.

Sometimes, I imagine if there was a power like the marvel infinity crystals snap your finger thing, that I'd wish away these people. The fanatics.

But really if you don't get rid of them all, or get rid of the concept of religion entirely, it'd just come back.

But I imagine, if such a power existed, and I used it to wipe them from the known galactic existence, that it must be God's will if I can and if God wanted you to exist and worship him I'd never have been able to wield such power.

Even though I'm not a Christian I wish they were right about The Rapture because then we wouldn't have to deal with them anymore.

Would it come back though if you got rid of the concept of religion and the fanatics? Wouldn't the only people left be opposed to religion or just not participate and thus nobody would revive it?

I meant if I only got rid of fanatics.

New fanatics can arise on their own.

It'd have to be the concept of religion and all believers
