Kentucky rape survivor hits out at Trump for overturning Roe in powerful new Harris ad

Kentucky rape survivor Hadley Duvall narrates a new ad for the Harris campaign in which she severely criticizes former President Donald Trump for the overturning of <em>Roe v Wade</em>.

During his term in the White House, Trump appointed three Supreme Court justices who voted for the overturning of the landmark 1973 ruling which made abortion a constitutionally protected right. It was overturned in the summer of 2022.

In the ad, Duvall speaks about how she was abused by her stepfather from the age of five, and how he impregnated her at the age of 12 before Roe was overturned.

Duvall said this meant she “had options.”

“Because Donald Trump overturned Roe v Wade, girls and women have lost the right to choose. Donald Trump did this,” she added. “He took away our freedom.”

The ad uses the song When the Party’s Over by Billie Eilish, who announced her endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday.

“We are voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz because they are fighting to protect our reproductive freedom, our planet and our democracy,” she said in a video shared on X.

“We can’t let extremists control our lives, our freedoms, and our future,” her brother Finneas O’Connell said in the video.

“Vote like your life depends on it because it does,” Eilish added.

The Duvall ad is set to air during the WNBA playoffs, the season premiere of Survivor, and Good Morning America on ABC, The Hill noted. It’s also set to air on Bravo and HGTV.

Duvall is also participating in a Harris campaign bus tour in Pennsylvania focusing on reproductive rights. She also spoke at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last month.

Harris posted the video on X, writing, “After a violation of their bodies, survivors of rape and incest
