A pro-life ad against an Ohio abortion-rights ballot measure features an unlikely advocate: President Biden.
The ad, “Join Them,” shows then-Sen. Joe Biden confirming in a television interview that he supported banning partial-birth or late-term abortion, saying, “I did and I do.”
The ad, which is slated to run Saturday during the Ohio State-Notre Dame football game, then swings to former President Donald Trump speaking out against late-term abortions. Ohio Issue 1, which goes before the voters in November, would enshrine the right to abortion in the state constitution, including post-viability abortion if the treating physician agrees “it is necessary to protect the pregnant patient’s life or health.”
The six-figure ad buy offered a reminder of Mr. Biden’s changing views on abortion. As president, he has called for eliminating restrictions on elective pregnancy termination, but in the Senate he voted in favor of bills banning partial-birth abortion in 1995 and 1999.
