Democrats use Alabama IVF ruling in national billboard campaign to attack Trump

Democrats are rolling out a national advertising campaign in battleground states, tying the Alabama Supreme Court ruling on in vitro fertilization to former President Donald Trump.

NBC News is reporting the Democratic National Committee is expected to launch advertising today on billboards across Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, using Trump’s boast that he was responsible for the U.S. Supreme Court’s reversal of the Roe V. Wade abortion decision.

One of the billboards will read: “Then: ‘I was able to kill Roe v. Wade.’ Now: Alabama Court Ruling stops IVF. Banning abortion, Stopping IVF. Is Georgia next?”

Each billboard message is specific to individual states, and some messages will be bilingual.

Last week, Trump expressed support for IVF through his Truth Social account, urging Alabama lawmakers to preserve in vitro fertilization.

Biden, however, tied the court’s decision to Trump, who picked three conservative high court justices making up the majority in the 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision which restricted abortion in some states.

“Make no mistake,” Biden said last week. “This is a direct result of the overturning of Roe v. Wade.”

“Donald Trump is the reason why cruel abortion bans across the country are ripping away women’s reproductive freedom and threatening access to IVF for Americans trying to start a family,” DNC Spokesperson Rhyan Lake said.

“Trump is proudly responsible for appointing the three Supreme Court justices who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade and wants to go even further by banning abortion nationwide. Americans are sickened by Trump and MAGA Republicans’ attacks on their right to make their own decisions for their families, and voters across the country know that these freedoms are on the ballot this November,” Lake added.
