VIRGINIA, October 19, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – Ads for the Democratic candidate for Virginia governor depict an abortion activist as a “regular” voter.
Ralph Northam, the current Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, is competing against pro-life Republican Ed Gillespie to be the commonwealth’s next governor.
Erin Matson, the co-founder of Reproaction, appears in two ads for Northam that criticize Gillespie for his pro-life views.
“Ed Gillespie wants to end a woman’s right to choose,” the ad “Want to See” says as Matson sits on a porch with her small daughter. The ad says Gillespie wants the “government in charge of women’s personal decisions,” not mentioning that these “decisions” involve the killing of a tiny human being.
Matson and her daughter also appear at the end of the pro-Northam ad “Sold,” which doesn’t mention abortion.
Reproaction’s mission is “to increase access to abortion and advance reproductive justice,” according to its website. Its vision “is to uphold abortion rights and advance reproductive justice as a matter of human dignity.”
It seeks to “empower and inspire the reproductive rights movement and the broader progressive community to openly and enthusiastically stand up for abortion rights.”
