A Missouri Democrat is launching a TV ad targeting Sen. Josh Hawley and Republicans over IVF access, previewing whats likely to become a predominant election-year attack from the left, even in red states.
Democrat Lucas Kunce, who hopes to take Hawleys Senate seat in November, is launching a five-figure ad buy beginning Monday with a 30-second spot in which a Missouri mother describes having a baby after in vitro fertilization treatment and claims Hawley wouldnt protect peoples right to the procedure. Hawley has previously denied taking that position.
I just had this beautiful baby, and I held her and I just, like, knew I was meant to be her mom, the Missouri woman, named Jessica, says. Now there are efforts to ban IVF, and Josh Hawley got them started. Josh Hawley has proven that he wont protect IVF and he would let politicians make me a criminal. I want Josh Hawley to look me in the eye and tell me that I cant have a child that I deserve, she says.
The spot will air during shows on network and cable TV designed to appeal to women, such as The Masked Singer, Greys Anatomy and The Real Housewives of Potomac, Kunces campaign said. Its not just about access to IVF, Kunce told HuffPost. Thats just the current moment. Missourians want to have the ability to control their own lives. We want the resources to make our own decisions, and we want the government to get out of the way ... IVF is such a great example of the extreme hes willing to go to control other peoples lives.
