NARAL Pro-Choice America: While Rubio’s Record Is Thin, His Priorities Are Clear
*** View Ad Below or on YouTube***
A new thirty-second television ad from NARAL Pro-Choice America hits Florida Senator Marco Rubio for his extreme and out of touch stance on abortion that would even deny abortions to women who are survivors of rape and incest.
The ad, which will run on national cable this week, can be seen below.
“While Senator Rubio’s legislative record may be thin, his priorities are crystal clear,” said Joel Foster National Political Director of NARAL Pro-Choice America. “He’d deny abortion to all Americans, even those who are survivors of rape and incest. While Rubio may try to portray himself as some sort of new generation of Republican, his position on abortion is from the dark ages and is far more extreme than even many of his Republican colleagues. Rubio has made his priorities clear. But the facts are clear, 7 in 10 Americans believe abortion should be legal and Marco Rubio’s priorities are not America’s priorities.”
Ad script:
Marco Rubio: thin record, clear priorities.
He introduced a bill allowing bosses to deny birth control coverage to their employees.
He repeatedly voted to de-fund Planned Parenthood, which provides vital healthcare to millions of Americans.
Worse yet, Rubio not only opposes abortion, but goes further than most Republicans.
He’d ban abortion even in the case of rape and incest.
He’s shown his priorities.
The question is, are they yours?
