The Philadelphia Phillies will face the Houston Astros tonight in Game 1 of the World Series, and Pennsylvania Democrats are taking the opportunity to air an ad highlighting quack TV doctor and Republican Senate candidate Mehmet Oz’s suggestion earlier this week that “local political leaders” should get a say in whether pregnant people can access abortion.
Oz made the comment, which immediately went viral (and not in the fun way), during a debate against his Democratic opponent, John Fetterman, the lieutenant governor. Fetterman’s campaign immediately pointed out that in Pennsylvania, “local leaders” could include Republican gubernatorial nominee Doug Mastriano, who supports banning abortion at six weeks and charging people who get abortions with murder.
Senate Majority PAC is paying about $100,000 to run the ad during Philly’s Fox29 World Series broadcast, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
