Tim Scott Jabs at Rivals on Abortion

By Leave a Comment

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) is targeting some of his 2024 rivals on the issue of abortion in a new ad, The Hill reports.

Said Scott in the 30-second spot: “If the radical Left wins, abortions will be performed on minors without their parent’s consent. Babies old enough to feel pain will be aborted. And poor single mothers like mine, will be told aborting their children would help the economy.”

He adds: “Yet, these people say I’m the extremist. I’m Tim Scott, and I approve this message because some Republicans want to retreat on life. I know life is a gift from God, and this is a fight we must win.”
