A television ad by the Democratic House Majority PAC attacks Republican 2nd District congressional candidate Tyler Kistner for his record on abortion.
The primary theme of the ad is that Kistner opposes all abortions, including in cases of rape, incest and when the life of the mother is in danger. Our 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS “Truth Test” committee gives this ad a failing grade.
“The Supreme Court just took away the right to an abortion,” the ad says, featuring an OB-GYN doctor. “Letting politicians control women’s personal medical decisions.”
It’s one of a series of ads the House Majority PAC is running against Republicans in several closely-contested congressional districts.
“Tyler Kistner says he’s 100% pro-life,” the ad continues. “And supports letting states ban abortion with no exception for rape, incest or save a woman’s life.”
This is false. After an extensive online search and even email exchanges with Democratic Rep. Angie Craig’s campaign — which did not produce this ad but has made similar claims — there is no evidence Kistner has been caught on video or in written form saying he opposes abortions under those extreme circumstances.
The House Majority PAC ad infers that because during the 2020 2nd District campaign Kistner’s website said he was “100% pro-life,” that means he opposes all abortions no matter the circumstances. Again, there is no evidence Kistner has said that.
