Obama ad targets Romney on abortion, Planned Parenthood
The Obama Campaign has added a new TV spot to its previously announced ad buy in Wisconsin -- this one targeting GOP nominee Mitt Romney over his position on abortion.
“Every woman who believes decisions about our bodies and our health care should be our own is troubled Mitt Romney supports overturning Roe versus Wade," an announcer says to open the ad, charging that Romney "backed a law that outlaws all abortion, even in cases of rape and incest."
The spot then shows footage of Romney saying he'll "cut off funding to Planned Parenthood," and closes with the former Massachusetts governor saying, "Planned Parenthood -- we’re going to get rid of that.”
“For women, Planned Parenthood means life-saving cancer screenings and family-planning services," the announcer says.
