The Lincoln Project is targeting Donald Trump in a new, emotional abortion rights ad that depicts a dying, pregnant woman pleading to her father to protect her reproductive rights. Within three hours Tuesday morning, the ad had more 26,000 views on YouTube.

“Donald Trump bragged about getting rid of Roe v. Wade, he propped up ultra-conservative lawmakers who’ve inflicted criminal penalties for doctors providing lifesaving treatments. This is not hyperbole, women are dying,” said Lincoln Project Chief of Staff Ryan Wiggins in a statement. “How could you tell your daughter you love her and will have her back always and then cast a vote for Trump and Project 2025?”

The ad, called “Daisy,” begins with a woman saying, “It didn’t need to end this way, dad,” as she dies in the hospital. She then sees flashbacks of her life featuring sports, high school and college. “I could always count on you,” the woman says to her father. “But it turned out he was more important,” she adds, while footage rolls of Trump bragging about appointing conservative Justices who overturned Roe v. Wade.

A TV talking head next says, “Each one of those abortion bans includes strict legal rules, rules that are designed to be impossible to comply with. How does a mother who is dying in a hospital bed, get to a courthouse to prove to a Judge that she’s dying?” The ad’s finale is the dying woman saying, “You knew what he’d do. You knew his politics would end my freedom, my rights. You choose hate over me.” The ad comes as abortion plays a major political issue as voters will decide the country’s next President.

3. Like the 1964 LBJ ad regarded as the most dramatic political ad----ever. Hope this one airs more than once.

The 1964 “Daisy” ad aired one time it was so unnerving to the public.

4. Definitely has that level of energy to it

Seriously, the LP needs to plaster it everywhere till people are sick of it—enough so that even the few MAGATs with a shred of decency left in them can’t hold their noses and vote for Orange Mussolini.

5. Wow

The thing is with these LP ads is they don't Run on tv. Most dad's of women of childbearing years won't see these ads because they aren't on line a lot.
