The liberal group Patriot Majority PAC has a new ad in the Nevada Senate race, slamming Sharron Angle’s opposition to abortion even in the cases of rape and incest — and using her own words regarding such situations.

The ad has a visual of a sitting, silent and scared-looking young woman, presumably meant to represent a rape victim. The announcer discusses Angle’s position on the issue, with audio of Angle herself cutting in at key points.

“Every four minutes in America, a woman is sexually assaulted. Almost half are teenage or younger. But for a victim of rape or incest, Sharron Angle would force her to have the baby. Angle says, ‘Two wrongs don’t make a right.’ For girls raped by a relative, Angle says they should just make, ‘a lemon situation into lemonade.’ If that’s not extreme, what is? Sharron Angle — too dangerous to have real power over real people.”

The TPM Poll Average currently puts Reid ahead by 47.7%-45.2%.
