In the Nevada Senate race between incumbent Republican Senator Sam Brown and Democratic challenger Jacky Rosen, both candidates have been running campaign ads regarding their stance on abortion. FoxReno.com conducted a fact-check on these ads to determine their accuracy.
Senator Sam Brown’s ad claims that Jacky Rosen supports late-term abortions. The fact-check found this claim to be misleading, as Rosen voted against a bill that would ban abortion after 20 weeks, but did not specifically support late-term abortions. Brown’s ad also accuses Rosen of supporting taxpayer-funded abortions, which the fact-check determined to be false. Rosen has stated that she supports the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits federal funding for abortions except in cases of rape, incest, or when the mother’s life is in danger.
Jacky Rosen’s ad, on the other hand, highlights Brown’s vote in favor of defunding Planned Parenthood. The fact-check confirmed this claim to be true, as Brown did vote for a bill that would cut funding for Planned Parenthood. Rosen’s ad also accuses Brown of wanting to overturn Roe v. Wade, which the fact-check found to be partially true. While Brown has stated that he believes states should have the right to regulate abortion, he has not explicitly stated that he wants to overturn the landmark Supreme Court decision.
Overall, both candidates’ ads contain some inaccuracies or misleading information regarding their stance on abortion. It is important for voters to critically evaluate campaign ads and fact-check the claims made by candidates to make informed decisions at the polls.
