A new campaign advertisement from U.S. Sen. Mark Udall, criticizing his Republican opponent's pro-life stance, features a mother holding her young daughter and saying the child is the reason abortion should remain legal.
As a female narrator criticizes Republican Congressman Cory Gardner’s "history [of] supporting harsh anti-abortion laws,” the camera cuts to a dark-haired woman holding a girl, who appears to be less than 10 years old, on her lap.
“I want my daughter to have the same choices I do,” she says.
The narrator also references “Gardner's eight year crusade that would ban birth control.”
“Seriously?” a woman says.
“It's 2014!” the mother adds.
Similar false claims were made in an ad by the Senate Majority PAC, which stated Gardner and other pro-life candidates want to lock women in jail for having an abortion.
The attacks are the sort that led to Gardner's repudiation of the Personhood movement and his support for selling birth control over the counter.
The proposed statewide amendment would have legally protected every person “from the beginning of the biological development of that human being.” It specifically stated post-abortive mothers would not be jailed. Although many forms of birth control may cause an early abortion, nothing in the amendment explicitly outlaws any form of contraception. Gardner favored its passage until he entered the Senate race against Udall in March.
But some forces in the state claim the issue is losing its potency. A survey conducted last month for Colorado Women's Alliance showed Colorado's female voters are rejecting the “war on women” rhetoric. Two-thirds of independents and registered Republican women say they "do not fear a government bureaucrat taking birth control away from them." Instead, women say they “fear...politicians using the issue of ‘access to birth control’ as a political tactic to scare them into voting a certain way."

That may be bad news for Udall, who has sounded this theme in prior ads, and for the Democratic Party nationally – especially during a midterm season that is expected to heavily favor Republican candidates. As the actions of both the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee show, Democrats have tailored their 2014 messaging around the theme of patriarchal politicians and business owners denying women no-pay contraceptives.
Polls show the U.S. Senate race in Colorado as a statistical dead heat.

Horrible.
You can’t make this stuff up
Especially when you consider the number of leftist that believe it.
Say what?
Udall is a dork.
Will this really play in Peoria? I mean, Colorado?
Are women really anxiously anticipating the abortions their 10 year olds are going to have, a few years down the road?
I certainly hope not.
Do these people have any idea just how insane they look????.....
Nothing says “I love you” to a child more than saying - “I should have killed you!”
this shows how little compassion lefties have toward children to create such an ad.
Once Sharia Law takes over, the abortions will stop.
Can’t strap bombs to a sliced up fetus and expect it to walk into the town square.
bump
Leftists don’t care if it is true or not
Only the mass murdring leftist in this nation can come up with this crap. This will come to pass.
Thanks Mommy Dearest. She reminds me of Moe in the Three Stooges. He would often tell Larry “Hey! Remind me to kill you later!”
Think of what that little girl would think — mommy just said that she wanted to abort me.
It appears that YouTube may have scrubbed this video.
Or is it just me?
what isn’t surprising, but should be, is that these baby-killing libtards can’ t see the irony in their own ad.
It doesn’t play for me either.
kind of takes the wind out of mothers day.
