Political Ad Shows Doctor Asking Texas Gov. Greg Abbott If He'll Allow An Abortion

This is a powerful ad

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s attempts to curtail abortion rights in his state has made him the target of a scathing new political ad.

The ad, released Monday by Mothers Against Greg Abbott PAC, shows a doctor explaining to an expectant couple that their new child will be born with a “catastrophic brain abnormality” and will only be able to survive a few hours after birth.

“If she is to survive, she will live only a matter of hours after birth. During that time, she will experience a multitude of seizures and ultimately aspirate on her own bodily fluids. She will suffer,” the doctor explains. “A decision will need to be made on termination. I wish I could tell you what to do.”

The crying mother then starts to consider the available options only to have the doctor tell her that “here is only one person who can make this choice, and that person is Greg.”

The father wonders, understandably, “who the f**k is Greg?"
