Eric Swalwell is someone with a lot of money to spend on his easy reelection campaign, so he spent that money on an ad meant to stoke fear that criminalizing abortion would lead to women getting arrested for abortions.
MAGA Republicans want women arrested for having an abortion. This is what that looks like. #LockHerUp pic.twitter.com/YUD0swW8DE

However, this ad does not send the message, Eric Swalwell thinks it does. Is it a pretty sight to see a woman arrested in fron of the children she did not murder? No. But do you know what’s a more offensive sight? Letting murderers go free.
Try explaining to the children in the ad that their mommy’s being arrested because she killed their brother or sister. The dynamic completely changes.
Christians react to the tweet:
Progressive poli wants to scare voters into refusing Republican efforts at abortion bans by... showing a murderer being arrested.

Commit murder, get arrested. This is the way. https://t.co/9vddu7RZ3F
