According to the latest USA Today/Suffolf University poll, pro-life Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) has a narrow lead over pro-abortion Rep. Bruce Braley. Among likely voters, she leads Braley 47%-43%. Ernst is an officer in the Army National Guard and has successful presented herself as a potential leader for Iowa.
But a new television ad released by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee attacks Ernst’s pro-life views. The ad features an Iowa nurse named Kim Tweedy who says she has worked on the sexual assault response team.
joniernstTweedy says, “I’ve seen lots of cases, many of them are very brutal. It breaks your heart. I’ll never understand politicians who make it even harder, politicians like Joni Ernst. She’d outlaw abortion, even for victims of rape and incest. She’d ban a woman’s right to choose, even for women who’ve been through that trauma, absolutely brutalized. Joni Ernst has no idea what people like this go through.”
However, in a debate last month Ernst said the personhood bill she sponsored with 20 other members of the state Senate “would not do any of the things that he stated it would do. That amendment is simply a statement that I support life.”
The pro-abortion lobby is trying to paint Ernst as an extremist. And Ernst said these ads were created to scare women.
In June, the National Right to Life Committee endorsed Ernst in her campaign for U.S. Senate. Carol Tobias, President of National Right to Life said, “As a state senator, Joni Ernst has been an outspoken leader in the fight to protect innocent human life in Iowa. Joni Ernst will bring her record of strong pro-life leadership to the U.S. Senate. The most vulnerable members of our human family will be well served by Joni Ernst’s election to the U.S. Senate.”

Additionally, Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser commented on Ernst’s opponent, Bruce Braley’s, radical abortion position.
She said, “Congressman Braley’s claim that Joni Ernst has a ‘radical’ position on abortion is laughable, and he clearly needs to look in the mirror. In Congress, Braley has been a rubber stamp for the abortion industry. Not only has he voted for taxpayer-funded abortion, he opposed a common sense limit on abortion after 5 months of pregnancy. Braley even co-sponsored legislation to wipe out all state limits on abortion and enshrine abortion on-demand until birth.”
Watch the ad below.
Has Braley just Begiched it?
It’s gotta be true. Why else would they say it?
It’s all they’ve got. They’re (Dims) saying the same thing, here in TX, about Dan Patrick.
The pro-abortion lobby is trying to paint Ernst as an extremist.
A pro-abortion lobbyist/group calling other people extremists is laughable. This is what you call desperation time for the Democrats. They’re trying to scare blacks in Georgia to go to the polls and they’re trying the war on women crap in Iowa. When you don’t stand for anything like the left this is what you’re reduced to. Something tells me that the Dems internals are far worse than we know and that explains the step up in their desperation tactics.
The far-left is insane. When you understand this, everything else makes sense
They are running similar ads against Marilinda Garcia here in soviet Red Hampshire...despicable.
The dems are going for the jugular now. Their desperation in palpable.
That is typical of the pro infanticide crowd to outright lie about anyone who is pro-life. The pro-murder crowd in Tennessee is saying that a vote to give the legislature the power to regulate abortion will force women with cancer to carry a baby to term even if it kills her. They are also saying that it will lead to laws that prevent people from raising their children as they see fit. Lies and scare tactics is all the left has.
Tis true. Maybe a little too much ELCA in the water.
Braley is a turd.
I am also pro-choice for women. Yep, the Bible gives them this option - “choose you this day whom you will serve.” It also says, in Deut. 30:19:
King James Bible
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live. There is also a choice to make between heaven and hell - whether people believe in either or not isn’t my problem - they can take it up with God on Judgment Day - So, these are my pro-choice beliefs.
Pretty bad, but nothing beats Wendy Davis’ empty wheelchair ad as far as a “disgusting” factor.
The left understands how to motivate low-information voters. The right does not.
Planned Parenthood and NOW don’t care about sexual harassment/abuse victims.
Feminazis say, "don't vote for the woman, she's a misogynist! vote for the man, he knows what womyn need!"
Ask him where he stands on parental notification laws requiring parents to be notified if a minor seeks an abortion.
Planned Parenthood is pro-rape and covers up cases of child abuse by coaching the girls to lie about their relationship, their age, and the nature of the encounter.
