A California PAC run by Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom launched a misleading TV ad in Tennessee criticizing a proposed bill to restrict transporting minors across state lines for abortions without parental consent.

The ad depicts a handcuffed pregnant minor to suggest the bill would criminalize girls seeking out-of-state abortions, but the legislation targets those who recruit or transport minors for concealed criminal abortions.

The narrator claims, “Trump Republicans want to criminalize young women who travel to receive the reproductive care they need. Don’t let them hold Tennessee women hostage.”

Similar bills have been considered in other Republican states.

Gov. Newsom recently said, “These guys are not just restricting the rights, self-determination to bear a child for a young woman, but they’re also determining their fate as it relates to their future in life by saying they can’t even travel.”

Newsom has taken several actions to promote and defend abortion access against restrictions passed in other states.
