Anti-Abortion PAC Releases $1 Million Ad Slamming Stacey Abrams and Raphael Warnock

Women Speak Out, an anti-abortion PAC, released an ad they spent $1 million on to criticize Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams (D) and Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.).

SBA Pro-Life America tweeted, "Today our partner org Women Speak Out PAC is launching a $1M TV ad buy to call out Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams and incumbent U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock for their abortion extremism."

The ad opens with the sound of a baby's heartbeat at six weeks.

It goes on to show Abrams' claiming there is "no such thing as a heartbeat at six weeks."

She added, "It's a manufactured sound."

The narrator goes on to argue Abrams and Warnock "support aborting babies not just at six weeks, not just at 15 weeks, when a baby can feel pain, but up to 40 weeks."

Concluding the ad, the narrator calls them "too extreme for Georgia."

Abrams sparked significant backlash for her claim about the heartbeat, as IJR reported.

Republican Texas U.S. House candidate Irene Armendariz-Jackson tweeted, “This statement is an evil lie.”

Pro-life activist Lila Rose said Abrams’ comment is “anti-science. Anti-truth. Anti-human.”

She added, "One of the consequences of the pro-abortion mindset is that is that it demands frequent and obvious lying from its adherents.”

Warnock has also received considerable criticism for his position on abortion.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) took aim at Warnock for claiming he is a pastor while pushing for rights to abortion, as IJR reported.

"It’s it’s such an abomination. It’s completely wrong. It’s evil," Greene said.

Last week, NBC News noted the candidates are pursuing different strategies for votes in their respective races.

"A new spot cut by Stacey Abrams, the Democratic nominee for governor, presents her as a 'math whiz' with bold progressive ideas to raise teacher pay, extend child care and fund preschool. Another ad vows to put Georgia’s surplus toward fresh stimulus checks for the middle class and to expand affordable housing," the outlet explains.

On the other hand, Warnock is reportedly "running as an independent-minded legislator and highlighting bipartisan pursuits like capping insulin costs as he seeks a full six-year term."

According to polling , Warnock is ahead of his Republican challenger Herschel Walker by roughly 4 percentage points.

Abrams is currently behind Republican Gov. Brian Kemp by approximately 5 points.
