A 22-year-old woman who became an abortion rights advocate after she was raped by her stepfather as a child tells her story in a new campaign ad for Democratic presidential nominee .
Hadley Duvall says in voiceover that she's never slept a full night in her life 鈥 her stepfather first started abusing her when she was five years old, and impregnated her when she was 12. As she speaks, images of Duvall as a child flash on the screen. The soundtrack of the ad is a song by Billie Eilish, who endorsed the vice president on Tuesday.
鈥淚 just remember thinking I have to get out of my skin. I can鈥檛 be me right now. Like, this can鈥檛 be it,鈥 Duvall says. 鈥淚 didn鈥檛 know what to do. I was a child. I didn鈥檛 know what it meant to be pregnant, at all. But I had options.鈥
The ad is part of a continued push by the Harris campaign to highlight the growing consequences of the fall of Roe, including that some states have abortion restrictions with no exceptions for rape or incest. Women in some states are suffering increasingly perilous medical care and the first reported instance of a woman dying from delayed reproductive care surfaced this week. Harris lays the blame squarely on Republican nominee Donald Trump, who appointed three of the conservatives to the U.S. Supreme Court who helped overturn the constitutional right to abortion.
Duvall blames Trump, too.
鈥淏ecause Donald Trump overturned Roe v. Wade, girls and women all over the country have lost the right to choose, even for rape or incest,鈥 she says in the ad. 鈥淒onald Trump did this. He took away our freedom.鈥
During the presidential debate on Sept. 10, Trump repeatedly took credit for appointing the three Supreme Court justices and leaned heavily on his catchall response to questions on abortion rights, saying the issue should be left up to the states. He said he would not sign a national abortion ban.
鈥淚鈥檓 not signing a ban,鈥 he said, adding that 鈥渢here is no reason to sign the ban.鈥
But he also repeatedly declined to say whether he would veto such a ban if he were elected again 鈥 a question that has lingered as the Republican nominee has shifted his stances on the crucial election issue.
Duvall of Owensboro, Kentucky, first told her story publicly last fall in a campaign ad for the governor鈥檚 race in her home state supporting Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear. Duvall's stepfather was convicted of rape and is in prison; she miscarried.
Beshear won re-election, and Democrats have said Duvall鈥檚 ad was a strong motivator, particularly for rural, male voters who had previously voted for Trump.
Duvall is also touring the country to campaign for Harris along with other women who have been telling their personal stories since the fall of Roe, joining Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro last week.
