An ad from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee falsely claims that Nevada Republican House candidate April Becker supports a nationwide abortion ban and “taking away a woman’s right to abortion with no exceptions.”
Becker has said she supports a ban on abortion except in cases of rape, incest, and to save the life of the mother. Becker also has said she opposes regulating abortion on the federal level.
Abortion became a top issue in the 2022 midterm elections following the Supreme Court’s June ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade — which established a constitutional right to abortion in 1973.
The DCCC, the party’s official campaign committee for electing Democrats to the House, focused this ad on Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District race between Becker and Democrat Rep. Susie Lee.
The ad, which is titled “April Becker is too extreme and a threat to Nevada women,” was posted Sept. 19 on the Facebook page of AAPI Vote 2022, which is a DCCC campaign that targets Asian American and Pacific Islander voters. The post received over 13,000 views.
In the ad, the narrator says, “April Becker is a threat to our rights. She doesn’t care about Nevada women. She supported overturning Roe v. Wade, taking away a woman’s right to an abortion with no expectations for rape, incest or to save her life, and would join extremist Republicans in Congress trying to ban abortion nationwide, including in Nevada. April Becker is too extreme and a threat to Nevada women.”
