The Duvall ad is going live as Republican vice presidential pick and U.S. Sen. JD Vance of Ohio takes the stage at the party’s convention Wednesday night, according to a Biden campaign email.
Titled “They Don’t Care,” the spot shows Duvall putting on makeup while talking about the fear she felt as a child due to sexual abuse and rape by her stepfather. Duvall got pregnant at age 12 and ultimately had a miscarriage.
“The first thing that was told to me when I saw that positive pregnancy test was ‘You have options,’” Duvall says in the ad. “And you know if Roe v. Wade would have been overturned sooner, I wouldn’t have heard that … There’s someone who doesn’t get to hear that now.”
“Girls like me across the country are suffering … Trump and J.D. Vance don’t care about women. They don’t care about girls in this situation," Duvall says. "They will continue to take our rights away."
“In this election, we have a choice,” Duvall concludes.
The ad will run in battleground states and is aimed at “younger and more diverse audiences,” according to a Biden campaign email.
Viewers can expect to see it while watching 60 Minutes, the upcoming WNBA All-Star game, The Bachelorette, and pre-Olympic coverage, and the ad will “receive a seven-figure investment,” according to the campaign email.
The Trump campaign hit back at the ad.
“Joe Biden does not have any good policy of his own, so his failing campaign peddles lies about President Trump's views in a dishonest attempt to fear voters into supporting him,” said Karoline Leavitt, national press secretary for Trump for President.
“Trump has been very clear – he supports the rights of states to make decisions on abortion, and supports exceptions for abortions in cases of rape, incest, and life of the mother,” press secretary Leavitt said.
Vance said Wednesday on Fox News that he will support Trump’s approach to allowing states to take the lead on abortion policy.
But in 2022 he said he was open to a national abortion ban, CNN reported .
Biden, meanwhile, strongly supports abortion rights. “Joe and Kamala (Harris) are fighting to restore the protections of Roe—and they will never allow a national abortion ban to become law,” his campaign website says.
