The Harris campaign recently unveiled a powerful new ad that sheds light on women's reproductive freedoms. The ad stars Hadley Duvall, a vocal advocate for reproductive rights and a survivor of rape.

Titled 'Monster,' the ad is narrated by Duvall herself, recounting her harrowing experience of becoming pregnant at the age of 12 after being sexually abused by her stepfather. Duvall shares her emotional turmoil and the overwhelming sense of confusion and helplessness she felt as a child facing an unwanted pregnancy.

In the ad, Duvall emphasizes the importance of having options in such situations, highlighting the critical need for women to have control over their own bodies and reproductive choices.

Duvall squarely places the blame on former President Donald Trump for the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, lamenting the loss of rights for girls and women across the country, even in cases of rape or incest.

Vice President Kamala Harris also weighed in on the issue, expressing her support for Duvall and condemning Trump's abortion policies as a violation of women's rights and autonomy. Harris emphasized the need to provide better support and protection for survivors of rape and incest.

The ad's impactful message is complemented by the use of Billie Eilish's song 'When the Party's Over,' adding a poignant and emotional layer to the narrative. Eilish herself recently voiced her support for Harris and other politicians who advocate for reproductive freedom, environmental protection, and democracy.

The ad serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing battle for women's rights and reproductive freedoms, urging viewers to consider the implications of political decisions on individuals like Hadley Duvall and countless others who deserve to have their voices heard and their choices respected.
