A woman nervously peers into her rearview mirror as a patrolman activates his car’s lights and sirens. She is less than a mile from leaving Alabama to seek abortion services, but it’s too late: The next thing she knows, she is being handed a pregnancy test and is handcuffed.
The encounter is depicted in an unvarnished new television ad called “Fugitive.”
The Campaign for Democracy, a political action committee created by Gov. Gavin Newsom, Democrat of California, produced the ad.It will appear on Monday in Alabama, where Republicans have called for prosecuting women who travel elsewhere for an abortion. The state’s abortion ban, one of the nation’s strictest, outlaws the procedure at all stages of pregnancy, with no exceptions for rape and incest.
“Trump Republicans want to criminalize young Alabama women who travel for reproductive care,” the ad’s narrator says.
The ad then shows the patrolman approaching the vehicle: “Miss, I’m going to need you to step out of the vehicle,” he says, tapping the kit on the driver’s side door, “take a pregnancy test.”
With reproductive rights on the ballot in a lot of swing states, ads like this will help Biden and local Dem candidates. GOOD.

This is unhinged. Borderline Goebbels level of propaganda.

This will never happen in America. The cop and driver were paid actors from Hollywood
