Paul airs anti-abortion ad in Iowa

Morning Score has the latest ad from Ron Paul, who leans strongly into an anti-abortion message in the spot airing on Iowa television:


“I happen to have walked into an operating room where they were performing an abortion on a late pregnancy,” Paul says in the ad, repeating a story he told at the Ames straw poll. “Who are we decide that we pick and throw one away and pick up and struggle to save the other ones?”

He concludes: “Unless we resolve this and understand that life is precious and we must protect life, we can’t protect liberty.”

Paul, an obstetrician by training, has emphasized his social conservative views far more than in his last presidential campaign. He could fare a bit better in Iowa this time if religious conservatives view him as more than the audit-the-Fed guy.

POLITICO’s Dan Hirschhorn reports that the commercial has several hundred thousand dollars behind it and a radio version will air in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada.
