President Joe Biden’s campaign released its latest abortion ad of the election hours after former President Donald Trump said 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 on Amanda Zurawski, a Texas woman who sued the state 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.

“At 18 weeks, Amanda’s water broke,” the ad’s text said. “She had a miscarriage.”

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

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 “God is behind everything.” The guy that drowned didn’t “drown of Gods will” he drowned because he was an idiot.

    Remove God from the story and it stays the same. At least, that’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 that’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 it’s more explaining away why god doesn’t actually help, which is supposed to be “it seems like” god doesn’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 there’s a reason for that.
