The ad was released hours after Trump said that he believes abortion laws should be left to the states, sidestepping the national ban that some of his supporters want.

President Joe Bidenā€™s campaign released its latestĀ abortion ad of the electionĀ hours after formerĀ President Donald Trump saidĀ he believes abortion laws should be left to the states, sidestepping the national ban that some of his supporters want.

The 60-second ad, which first aired Monday on MSNBC, focuses onĀ Amanda Zurawski, a Texas womanĀ who sued the stateĀ after, she said, she almost died from a miscarriage. In the video, Zurawski and her husband, Josh, discuss how they had started buying things for the baby while Amanda was pregnant, including a baby book.

ā€œAt 18 weeks, Amandaā€™s water broke,ā€ the adā€™s text said. ā€œShe had a miscarriage.ā€

As the couple continued to recount memories of the pregnancy, text on the screen read, ā€œBecause Donald Trump killed Roe v. Wade, Amanda was denied standard medical care to prevent infection, an abortion.ā€

Doctors were forced to send Amanda home and three days later, Amanda wound up in the ICU with sepsis, according to the ad.

    Sometimes, I imagine if there was a power like the marvel infinity crystals snap your finger thing, that Iā€™d wish away these people. The fanatics.

    But really if you donā€™t get rid of them all, or get rid of the concept of religion entirely, itā€™d just come back.

    But I imagine, if such a power existed, and I used it to wipe them from the known galactic existence, that it must be Godā€™s will if I can and if God wanted you to exist and worship him Iā€™d never have been able to wield such power.
