Actresses Gang up On Mitt Romney’s Anti-Women Politics
October 15, 2012
Scarlett Johansson, Eva Longoria & Kerry Washington speak out in a new commercial directed to women about Mitt Romney in a new 30-second TV ad from MoveOn.org Political Action.
The ad, directed by Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, features the actresses speaking to the camera about Romney’s statements that he would end funding for Planned Parenthood and appoint Supreme Court justices that would overturn Roe v. Wade.
Johansson also references an attempt by some House Republicans to redefine the rape exception in legislation providing federal funding for abortion, while Longoria speaks against a bill in the Virginia state legislature that would have required, in some instances, invasive ultrasounds for women seeking abortions.
