Wayne Powell new ad slams eric cantor's anti-women agenda:
As many of you are aware, I campaigned for three days in Richmond for pro-choice Wayne Powell, the opponent of Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor in Virginia’s 7th District. You may also know by now that Cantor co-sponsored 32 anti-abortion bills with Todd Akin, the extremist Congressman from Missouri who ridiculously claimed women couldn’t get pregnant when forcibly raped. Among the many bills Cantor championed with Akin include the introduction of the “Forcible Rape” term which attempted to redefine the meaning of “rape” and the “Forced Ultrasound” legislation.
Cantor stands solidly with Akin and Richard Mourdock, who just this past week said pregnancy by rape is “God’s will.” He refuses to disavow or even distance himself from either’s candidacy.
Polling shows that Cantor is not popular in his home district with a 37% approval rating. Much of this is due to the 7th District being 68% pro-choice which is a figure that can't be ignored. Wayne can win this race with our help. The campaign will be running the attached pro-choice ad up until Election Day. I ask you to join me in financially supporting this buy which will allow the campaign to air even more spots so that we can saturate the airwaves with Wayne's solidly pro-choice message while reminding voters of Eric Cantor's solidly anti-choice one. Contrary to what Mr. Cantor has done, he doesn't know "what's right for women".
Please be generous in your contributions. Defeating Eric Cantor is the best way to send a message to Washington that women have had it with extremist intrusions into the health, freedom and lives of ours and our daughters.
Thanks for helping Wayne,
Madeleine Stowe
