Campaign ad targets Heck’s votes to defund Planned Parenthood
A new ad from a pro-abortion group backing Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Catherine Cortez Masto hits Nevada’s airwaves today, continuing the attacks that seek to characterize her Republican opponent Rep. Joe Heck as an anti-woman candidate.
The ad — paid for by the Emily's List independent expenditure arm Women Vote! — features a man in a white doctor’s coat embroidered with “Politician Joe Heck,” who removes his coat to reveal a suit and tie with a Heck campaign button pinned on it.
“He walks like a doctor. He talks like a doctor. He even dresses like a doctor on TV. But if you look closer you see what’s underneath — a Washington politician who votes against those he’s sworn to protect,” the narrator says.
The ad makes the same argument as a Planned Parenthood Votes spot from last week — highlighting Heck’s votes to defund Planned Parenthood and attempting to suggest that Heck voted to impose criminal penalties for women who receive abortions.
