Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), known for his intimate relationship with a Chinese spy, has released an attack ad depicting Republicans as desiring to see women who have abortions arrested and dragged from their homes in front of their families.
The ad was profiled Monday evening on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut,” to the praise of host Joy Reid.
The ad shows a family at the dinner table — a mother, father and two children — when their peaceful dinner is interrupted by police officers at the door who’ve come to arrest the mother for having an abortion.
The officer at the door informs the mother they have a warrant for her arrest. When the husband asks why, the officer cites a statute code, then clarifies she is being arrested for the “unlawful termination of a pregnancy.”
“That’s my personal business,” the woman exclaims, but an officer coldly responds, “That’s for the courts to decide, Ma’am.”
The officer takes the mother into custody as her distraught children scream in the background.
The officers add that her doctor had also been arrested and that she would be forced to undergo a physical examination.
The ad concludes with a statement indicating that Republicans want a blanket ban on all abortions and that the prosecution of women who have abortions is imminent.
“Please, don’t do this. Please,” the woman pleaded from the back seat of the police car.
The Daily Wire blasted the ad as wildly misleading and deceptive, noting the irony in that “what Swalwell depicted in his ad — the dystopian future without abortion access — was actually happening at the direction of President Joe Biden’s administration, but to pro-life activists.”
Mark Hemingway, senior writer at RealClearInvestigations agreed that the Swalwell ad and the DNC are projecting, tweeting:
“The DOJ is literally running around the country right now arresting abortion protesters in front of their families.”

“The FBI has arrested 22 pro-life Americans for peacefully protesting abortion, but still hasn’t arrested a single person for firebombing pregnancy centers and burning down churches.”
Ben Kew, editor-at-large for @ElAmerican, added:
“I don’t think there is a single Republican candidate running for national office that has suggested arresting women for having abortions. Oh well. Never let the truth get in the way of a good story!”
RedState’s @SisterToldjah called the content in the ad “BS,” noting that it both distorts the truth and paints police officers in a bad light. “Not your finest hour, Swalwell,” she wrote.
