Reproductive Freedom for All Launches New Ad in Key Districts in Final Stretch of Virginia’s Election
Washington, DC — With the Virginia election just days away, Reproductive Freedom for All launched a new ad setting the record straight and calling out the GOP’s poor attempt to rebrand their abortion bans and deflect from their politically toxic agenda. The highly-targeted five-figure ad buy will run in crucial districts key to securing reproductive freedom majorities in the General Assembly: SD-16, SD-24, SD-30, and SD-31.
Reproductive Freedom for All President and CEO Mini Timmaraju released the following statement:
“Voters need to know the truth. Whatever the GOP wants to call it, a ban is a ban, and they will pass one into law in Virginia if given the chance.”
Virginia Republicans know their support for an abortion ban is unpopular with voters, so they’re attempting to misrepresent the realities of their dangerous policies. In Virginia, Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin spent 1.4 million dollars on an ad falsely claiming that he isn’t pushing for an abortion ban in a desperate attempt to provide GOP candidates cover for their dangerous push to do exactly that.
But voters aren’t buying Republicans’ attempted rebrand, and the research proves it. In recent polling from Reproductive Freedom for All, voters reported that despite GOP politicians’ attempts to cast their extreme policies as moderate, they understood that Republicans have one goal: to ban all abortion, everywhere.
