Herring ad hits Obenshain, Cuccinelli on women’s issues

AFP

The Mark Herring for Attorney General campaign responded to Republican opponent Mark Obenshain’s negative attack ads by releasing their latest television ad titled “Wrong Turn.”

The ad highlights the Obenshain/Cuccinelli record of punishing women for making their own, private health care decisions.

The ad focuses on the 2007 “Personhood” bill, co-sponsored by Ken Cuccinelli and Mark Obenshain, that would ban common forms of contraception and outlaw abortion, even in cases of rape and incest.

“Like Ken Cuccinelli, Sen. Obenshain has spent his entire career in the state Senate trying to punish women for making their own, private health care decisions,” Herring said. “Ken Cuccinelli and Mark Obenshain believe politicians in Richmond should dictate to women what they can and cannot do with their bodies, and they have the record to prove it. Virginia women can’t trust Ken Cuccinelli and Mark Obenshain.”
