Newsom’s campaign launches billboards in anti-abortion states


Gavin Newsom’s reelection campaign announced Thursday it has launched billboards in seven anti-abortion states to advertise California’s new abortion resource website. “Texas doesn’t own your body, you do” reads one ad in images provided by the campaign Thursday. “Need an abortion? California is ready to help,” reads another. The billboards are running in Indiana, Mississippi, Ohio, Texas, South Carolina, South Dakota and Oklahoma, according to the campaign. “Here is my message to any woman seeking abortion care in these anti-freedom states: Come to California. We will defend your constitutional right to make decisions about your own health,” Newsom said in a statement. “These un-American abortion bans — many of them without exceptions for rape and incest – are literally killing women. The idea that these Republican politicians are seeking to “protect life” is a total farce. They are seeking to restrict and control their constituents and take away their freedom.” The ads were paid for by Newsom’s reelection campaign, which has raised nearly $14 million, according to the latest campaign finance data. The ad launch comes days after a group of Republicans in Congress proposed a national ban on most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
