Biden campaign launching 7-figure ad buy on abortion in Arizona
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
P resident Biden's campaign on Thursday launched a seven-figure ad buy in Arizona, focusing on abortion on as the state grapples with the fallout from a state Supreme Court decision earlier this week that enabled an 1864 law that bans nearly all abortions.
The Biden campaign has sought to link former President Donald Trump to near-total abortion bans since Trump appointed three conservative judges who were instrumental in the 2022 Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade. Trump has touted his role in the effort to "kill" Roe v. Wade, although he has sought to distance himself from the Arizona decision.
"Because of Donald Trump, millions of women lost the fundamental freedom to control their own bodies," Mr. Biden says direct to camera in the ad . "And now, women's lives are in danger because of that. The question is, if Donald Trump gets back in power, what freedom will you lose next? Your body and your decisions belong to you, not the government, not Donald Trump. I will fight like hell to get your freedom back."
The ad, dubbed "Power Back," will run this month on targeted television programs, including Abbott Elementary, Survivor, Grey's Anatomy, American Idol, The Voice, and SNL. The campaign said it's particularly seeking to target younger female and Latino residents.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is also launching a billboard campaign across the Tempe and Phoenix metro areas, in both English and Spanish, looking to place blame on Trump for the state's abortion ban.
Arizona has been the focus of the Biden-Harris campaign this week after the state's Supreme Court upheld on Tuesday a 160-year-old total ban on abortions. The 1864 ban has exceptions only to save the life of the mother, although none for rape and incest. Vice President Kamala Harris is set to visit Tucson on Friday as part of the campaign's focus on reproductive rights.
Before Tuesday's ruling, Trump had issued a video statement saying he thought abortion laws should be left to the states. On Wednesday, he said he thought the Arizona Supreme Court went too far.
"Yeah, they did," Trump told reporters Wednesday, asked if the court's judges went too far. "That'll be straightened out, and as you know it's all about states' rights."
So far, Republicans in the state have blocked efforts to overturn the ban, although several prominent Arizona Republicans have slammed the ruling, including GOP Senate candidate Kari Lake.
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat, has said she will "not prosecute anyone under this draconian law," which allows felony charges for anyone who performs an abortion procedure or helps a woman access one. The law includes no exceptions for rape or incest.

Abortion is a key issue for many women voters.
The Arizona legislature can easily fix this.
It was reported by Axios yesterday the AZ House Speaker, Ben Toma said he will not let a vote come to the floor. He shut down floor debate by breaking for lunch and then later by adjourning until next week.
Has Ben heard from Trump yet?
Maybe. Maybe he's waiting to see if Trump changes his mind again.
I just want the Biden campaign to spend all that money. Then have Arizona fix it.
I have no doubt they will spend all that money. How good it does them remains to be seen.
Like every politician since the first Roman Senate in 753 B.E. they will claim only they can fix the world's problems...I don't particularly trust any of them except to spend money.

It's the measure of the man that is Joe Biden that he supported a Constitutional Amendment to return abortion to the states and prevent the federal government from legislating on it (that's actually stronger than Dobbs) when it was politically advantageous for him to do so. Just like every other principle he supposedly has, he changed it when it became it politically advantageous to do so. The only thing Biden actually believes in is protecting the Biden electoral gravy train.
Part of the reason the Biden campaign jumped into action on this template thing is because it was only a month ago that Biden campaign advisors were warning Joe that Arizona might be falling out of reach.
Abortion is the perfect word to describe the Biden presidency, not sure why he would want to advertise that fact.
doesn't sound like a bad thing to me
I have no problem with democrats doing something that is legal and ethical.
According to who?
People who weren't indoctrinated.
And who is indoctrinated? Be specific in what way they are indoctrinated and who, "they" are.
The Atlantic is now a liberal publication, so I hope you'll trust them:
Admit It, American Colleges Do Indoctrinate Students - The Atlantic
OH! I get it, like Christians and trump cultists.
Got ya.
russia is indoctrinating the republican party
Spoken like a person who never served a second to defend this country from the likes of Russia.
Funny but not funny ….
Only in TDS driven minds.
DEFLECTION ALERT!!
Biden does not want people focusing on inflation and immigration.
That happens to be everyone but certain women.
I dare you to call my wife inflated... lol.
Good!
You gotta make hay when the sun shines.

The Biden presidency in one meme:
Meme's should have at least some truth to them, yours has none.
Memes seem to have but one purpose: TAUNTING.
And you would be wrong
Did Biden Temporarily Freeze Trump Rule Lowering Insulin, EpiPen Prices? | Snopes.com
It's amazing how many of those things in your MEME are democrat policies that you blame on trump supporters
Segregation. Democrats
Internment camps: Democrats
Lynchings: Democrats
White supremacy: Democrats
In 1964, if someone said they hated the FBI, supported Russia, and wanted to terminate the constitution, you'd call them communists.
In 2024, you call them MAGA Republicans.
How is that 1864 law going over in Peoria?
Several problems with your meme.
Segregation- Democrats
Coat hanger abortions- The 1930's, 40's, and 50's called they want their saying back. So long as Democrat controlled bastions of stupidity run states and cities exist- abortions will be frequent, common, and on demand up until the time of birth.
Internment camps- Democrats
Barefoot and pregnant- The 1930's, 40's, and 50's called they want their saying back. Show one woman forced to carry pregnancy to term against her will. If they are not smart enough to move to a state that shares their abortion beliefs; aren't smart enough to figure out how to cross state lines to a state that has abortions; or are too flat out ignorant to know their own states laws and stay within them; then they are too stupid to get an abortion.
Lynchings- Democrats
Child Labor- China- Democrats love China. They want to turn the US into a woke dysfunctional version of China. Complete with one party rule.
White Supremacy- Democrats. Only now they have branched out into all of the races. All Democrats and leftists know is hate; and how to spread it.
Except, it is not the Democrats who are demanding we return to the 1950s by enacting draconian backwards laws TODAY!
The republican war on women, marching right into the 1860's.
I'd say closer to the 1460's.
Who was President in the 1460’s?
