Alliance for Common Sense, a group backed by the Democratic Governors Association, is out with a new ad critical of Tim Michels and his position on Wisconsin’s 1849 abortion law which outlaws abortion in all cases unless the life of the mother is in jeopardy. The 30-second ad features a clip of Michels who says “the 1849 law is an exact mirror of my position.” The spot then claims that Michels would “ban abortion even in cases of rape or incest” and “send doctors to jail for performing [abortions].” The ad closes with “Tim Michels’ Agenda: too Radical for Wisconsin” printed in large, bold letters on the screen.
