Democratic nominee Joe Donnelly launched an ad Tuesday in the Indiana Senate race, accusing Republican nominee Richard Mourdock of holding extreme positions — and highlighting among other things, his statement at last week’s debate about abortion in cases of rape.
The spot starts with a sound-bite of Mourdock saying he likes “to inflict my opinion on someone else.”
The announcer then cuts in: “And Richard Mourdock’s opinions: Pregnancy caused by rape is ‘something God intended.’ He says Medicare and Social Security are unconstitutional. He attacks jobs creation, saying he ‘didn’t take a pledge that I would support every job in Indiana.’ Newspapers call Mourdock’s out of the mainstream attacks ‘a troubling pattern.’ My way or the highway — the wrong way for Indiana.”
