Childhood Rape Survivor Slams Kentucky AG Daniel Cameron In Brutal New Campaign Ad [View all]

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) on Wednesday released a brutal new campaign ad against his GOP challenger, Daniel Cameron, featuring a childhood rape survivor ripping Cameron over his hardline opposition to abortion — even in cases of rape or incest.

“I was raped by my stepfather after years of sexual abuse. I was 12,” a young woman named Hadley says in the ad. “Anyone who believes there should be no exceptions for rape and incest could never understand what it’s like to stand in my shoes.”

“This is to you, Daniel Cameron,” Hadley says, looking directly into the camera.

“To tell a 12 year-old-girl she must have the baby of her stepfather who raped her is unthinkable,” she says. “I’m speaking out because women and girls need to have options. Daniel Cameron would give us none.”
