The ad was released hours after Trump said that he believes abortion laws should be left to the states, sidestepping the national ban that some of his supporters want.

President Joe Bidenā€™s campaign released its latestĀ abortion ad of the electionĀ hours after formerĀ President Donald Trump saidĀ 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 onĀ Amanda Zurawski, a Texas womanĀ who sued the stateĀ 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.

ā€œAt 18 weeks, Amandaā€™s water broke,ā€ the adā€™s text said. ā€œShe had a miscarriage.ā€

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

Doctors were forced to send Amanda home and three days later, Amanda wound up in the ICU with sepsis, according to the ad.

      Aaaaaand the patient is dead, turns out Jesus is a really bad surgeon. And then theyā€™ll sue when it turns out relying on thoughts and prayers makes for a really shit healthcare system. Somehow theyā€™re unwilling to accept ā€œitā€™s all part of gods planā€ as a malpractice defense either.

        What do you mean, ā€œBronze Age carpenters donā€™t make good surgeonsā€?
