The Democratic Governors Association and Bob Ferguson have repeatedly accused Dave Reichert of voting to ban abortion nationwide. Did he?
The Democratic Governors Association is hitting Republican gubernatorial candidate Dave Reichert in an attack ad on the one issue Democrats poll best on: abortion.on behalf of Bob Ferguson, Reichert’s far-left opponent. It claims Reichert voted to ban abortion, including in cases of incest, rape or life of the mother. It features a Seattle woman who experienced sexual abuse as a child. As a result, she says she became pregnant and chose an abortion.
The bill would not have, as the ad claims, outright banned abortions nationwide. It restricted abortions after 20 weeks. At this stage of development, the nervous system is sufficiently developed for the fetus to experience pain. The bill also included exceptions for cases of rape, incest and the life of the mother. The Reichert votes that are flashed on screen during the ad were procedural moves by Democrats who were attempting to weaken the bill.
