A nurse practitioner appearing in Emily's List ad against Gov. Scott Walker and his anti-abortion record.
Emily's List has engaged in the Wisconsin governor's race on behalf of Democrat Mary Burke with
this ad featuring a nurse practitioner talking about Gov. Scott Walker's attempts to restrict abortion. Here's the text:
Meg, Nurse Practitioner: "I don't like anybody getting between me and my patients. So I was outraged when I found out Scott Walker quietly signed a law, trying to restrict doctors from performing abortions. Scott Walker wants to make all abortions illegal, even in cases of rape and incest. Look, this is one of the toughest decisions a woman has to make. It's not up to politicians like Scott Walker. Scott Walker needs to get out of my patients' private lives, out of my examining room, and just leave women alone."
According to the
New York Times, the group is spending $750,000 putting this ad on statewide network and cable TV. The race in Wisconsin is very tight, with Walker at 51.3 to Burke's 48.7, according to Daily Kos's
Election Outlook. In the latest Marquette poll, Burke leads among women
50-40 percent. This ad could help push that margin, and could help motivate women to get out and vote.
Help Wisconsin. Help oust Scott Walker. Please give $3 to Mary Burke.
