Vice President Harris' campaign released a new ad on Wednesday in which a Kentucky rape victim shares her story and directly blasts former President Trump for restricting access to abortion.
“Monster” is narrated by Hadley Duvall, a Kentucky woman who became pregnant by her stepfather at a young age.
“I had a choice,” Duvall said before the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade in 2022, recalling being abused from the age of 5 and becoming pregnant at 12.
“Girls and women have lost their right to choose because Donald Trump overturned Roe v. Wade. Donald Trump did this,” she said. “He took away our freedoms.”
The ad is set to the song “When the Party's Over” by Billie Eilish. Eilish endorsed Vice President Harris on Tuesday, saying she is “fighting to protect our reproductive freedom.” The ad also urges Americans to register to vote and includes a link to iwillvote.com at the end.
The show will air nationally during high-rating timeslots including the WNBA playoffs, the season premiere of Survivor and ABC's “Good Morning America,” and will also air on Bravo, HGTV and on broadcast and cable networks in battleground states to reach younger female viewers.
Duvall has been on a reproductive rights bus tour in Pennsylvania for Harris' campaign and also spoke at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August.
“Rape and incest victims are being told that after their bodies are violated, they have no control over what happens next — all because of Trump's abortion ban,” Harris said. wrote on social media platform X“This is immoral. Women and girls like Hadley deserve better,” one person shared of the ad.
When President Biden was at the top of his list of potential candidates, and before he tapped Harris to run in his place, the Biden campaign also released an ad narrated by Duvall criticizing the abortion stance of President Trump's running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio).
Earlier this week, Harris also slammed Trump over Georgia's restrictive abortion law. The report was released It was revealed that a 28-year-old mother living in the state died because she was unable to receive treatment for an infectious disease due to state law.
The Trump campaign responded to the ProPublica report by saying it was “unclear” why the Georgia mother's life was not protected in this situation.
