The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee released a new TV ad on Thursday hitting state Sen. Joni Ernst (R) over Personhood, a favorite line of attack for Democrats over the last few months.
"Joni Ernst pushed the Personhood amendment. What would that mean? It would ban many forms of birth control and would make all abortions illegal. Ernst would outlaw abortion even for victims of rape or incest. And would actually impose criminal penalties on doctors," the voiceover in the ad said.
The ad then uses a clip of Ernst saying "I think the provider should be punished, if there were a Personhood amendment."
Democrats said the ad is a multi-million dollar buy and will be running statewide. - TPM, 10/2/14
This is a much better ad than the one the Iowa Democratic Party put out:
P.S. Ernst is getting called out on this:

PolitiFact has weighed in on a dispute that's been dominating the Iowa Senate race: Republicans supporting state Sen. Joni Ernst (R) claim that Rep. Bruce Braley (D-IA) went way too far over a disagreement with a neighbor about chickens wandering into his yard and threatened to sue her.
It's a claim that Ernst herself repeated during the Sunday debate, when she said, "Congressman, you threatened to sue a neighbor over chickens that came onto your property."
PolitiFact dubbed Ernst's claim "false" on Thursday.
The backstory is that Braley is said to have gotten into an argument with a neighbor, Pauline Hampton, because the neighbor's chickens wandered into the yard of his vacation home in Holiday Lake, Iowa. Republicans also claimed that Braley threatened legal action over the chickens.
Carolyn Braley, Braley's wife, told Hampton that she planned to file a complaint over the chickens with the neighborhood homeowner's association. The homeowner's association then ruled that Hampton could keep the chickens as long as they stayed fenced in her yard.
The Iowa Republican website then released emails that showed Braley reached out to the homeowner's association lawyer. Those emails, Republicans suggested, show that Braley threatened legal action. But PolitiFact noted that the emails "do not say anywhere that Braley was considering a lawsuit."
"In fact, they say the opposite," PolitiFact said in its post on Thursday. "The lawyer, Thomas Lacina, writes "The implication from Mr. Braley was that he wants to avoid a 'litigious situation.'" - TPM, 10/2/14
We can win this race, we just have to remind voters how much of an extremist Ernst really is. Click here to donate and get involved with Braley's campaign:
