Democrats intensify their IVF messaging in new billboards, tying Trump to the Alabama ruling

Democrats are ramping up their messaging around an Alabama Supreme Court ruling over in vitro fertilization, drawing a direct line from the decision to former President Donald Trump as the party seizes on a firestorm of backlash over the decision.

In public appearances, through surrogates, on social media and now on billboards across eight battleground states, Democrats — from President Joe Biden on down — are blaming the Alabama court’s ruling that embryos are human on Trump’s shaping of the U.S. Supreme Court and its subsequent overturning of Roe v. Wade. The fall of Roe, which came after Trump appointed three conservative justices, gave states control over abortion rights, including determining when life begins.

In plans first shared with NBC News, the Democratic National Committee is expected to launch advertising Tuesday on dozens of billboards across Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin with a message tying Trump to the IVF ruling, including a quote when he boasted about his ability to reverse Roe.

One of the billboards will read: “Then: ‘I was able to kill Roe v. Wade.’ Now: Alabama Court Ruling stops IVF. Banning abortion, Stopping IVF. Is Georgia next?” Each is personalized to the state it is in, and some are bilingual.
