The ad focuses on Hung Cao’s position on outlawing abortion. It begins with how Cao was “thrilled” when Roe v. Wade was overturned and Cao’s pledge in a 2022 questionnaire to support a law “to protect innocent life from conception to natural death,” which would mean a nationwide ban on abortion with zero exceptions for rape or incest. Cao has also used extreme language to talk about abortion, comparing women who receive abortions to Nazis.
“If Hung Cao had his way, he would overrule Virginians and support a total abortion ban with zero exceptions for rape and incest,” said Michael Beyer, Communications Director for Kaine for Virginia. “With reproductive freedom on the line in this election, the choice could not be clearer: Tim Kaine trusts women to make their own reproductive health decisions while Hung Cao believes he should make these personal decisions for Virginia women.”
