Planned Parenthood ad says "it's time to stop Governor Walker"
A new TV ad highlights Wisconsin residents aided by Planned Parenthood while accusing Gov. Scott Walker of eliminating state funding for the organization.
The 30-second ad, titled "It's Time to Stop Governor Walker," begins with a photo montage of several Wisconsin residents served by Planned Parenthood.
"Planned Parenthood is a lifeline for Wisconsin women and families," the narrator says as the camera pans out over photos of different women. "But Governor Walker eliminated funding for Planned Parenthood's preventative services, including cancer screens and birth control."
The ad also says Walker worked to end insurance coverage for birth control. The narrator then says that health care "shouldn't be political, it's personal."
"Women can't wait, it's time to stop Gov. Walker," the narrator ends. In every version of the ad, the screen urges people to vote for Tom Barrett on June 5. In some versions of the ad, Barrett is paired with Kristen Dexter and Donna Seidel.
