Planned Parenthood targets Gillespie over women's issues

Source: The Hill




Planned Parenthood Virginia PAC launched a digital ad on Friday knocking GOP gubernatorial nominee Ed Gillespie for not addressing women’s health issues on his campaign website.

The digital ad, provided first to The Hill, is part of a $2 million coordinated ad campaign along with other liberal groups in support of Virginia Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam (D). Gillespie and Northam square off in the only competitive statewide race next Tuesday.

The spot scrolls through Gillespie’s health care plan on his campaign website and notes that no women’s issues come up on that page, arguing that he’s only “for some Virginians.”

Planned Parenthood touted Northam’s record on women’s issues and his work in the current administration to veto attempts to defund the women’s health organization. Northam, who was an Army physician and pediatric neurologist, supports abortion rights.
