“I still can’t believe this beautiful girl is ours,” the husband of the couple , before the wife adds, “Our little IVF miracle.” “Sorry, she’s not yours anymore,” the Republican congressman says in the ad as he takes the baby away, adding later “I’m your Republican congressman. We made IVF illegal, and we’re not letting you criminals raise her.
” “You can’t do this, she’s our baby!” the wife says before the Republican congressman finishes the ad by saying, “I won the last election, so it’s my decision. If you want a baby, you have to make one the old-fashioned way, and I’ll be watching.” The ad is part of a $250,000 ad buy and will be aired in Arizona on connected TVs, streaming services and online platforms, accor.
