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.

      I clearly remember, as a Democrat, voting for the Supreme Court Justiceā€¦ that lied and said they wouldnā€™t do the thing they did. That is why I also voted to impeach that Justice.

      Are you telling me that box that was taped to the wall coincidentally above the trash can was a lie and that I as an individual have no power in this decision of Roe v. Wade repeal?

        Do you also clearly remember Biden trying to get a constitutional amendment passed to make sure states could overturn Roe v Wade? Cause I do.
