Biden campaign ad blames Trump for near-death of woman denied abortion in Texas: ‘Donald Trump did this’

The 60-second ad, titled “Willow’s Box”, featured an emotional interview with Amanda Zurawski, who discussed the miscarriage of her baby – whom she wanted to name Willow – and the infection that almost killed her twice when she was denied an abortion.

He went on to push the false claims that Democrats want abortion up to and including the ninth month of
