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 Bidenā€™s campaign released its latestĀ abortion ad of the electionĀ hours after formerĀ President Donald Trump saidĀ 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 onĀ Amanda Zurawski, a Texas womanĀ who sued the stateĀ 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.

ā€œAt 18 weeks, Amandaā€™s water broke,ā€ the adā€™s text said. ā€œShe had a miscarriage.ā€

As the couple continued to recount memories of the pregnancy, text on the screen read, ā€œBecause Donald Trump killed Roe v. Wade, Amanda was denied standard medical care to prevent infection, an abortion.ā€

Doctors were forced to send Amanda home and three days later, Amanda wound up in the ICU with sepsis, according to the ad.

    I think it does a better job at highlighting the flaw in thinking ā€œGod is behind everything.ā€ The guy that drowned didnā€™t ā€œdrown of Gods willā€ he drowned because he was an idiot.

    Remove God from the story and it stays the same. At least, thatā€™s what led me to figure out the whole concept of an omnipotent, omniscient, omni benevolent diety and a whole religion was BS.

      If it worked for you thatā€™s great, but consider why? If they were talking, did god not tell him earlier. The story is stupid, if somehow that stupidity prevents people from relying on god, then fine.
      But it seems to me itā€™s more explaining away why god doesnā€™t actually help, which is supposed to be ā€œit seems likeā€ god doesnā€™t help, but you should believer that he does, despite there is no evidence of it.

      Note that this story is generally told by the religious, not by atheists. And thereā€™s a reason for that.
