Police draw guns while arresting mother for abortion in front of her family in Democrat's new scaremongering campaign ad: Watch the video
Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell has released a campaign ad that features a dramatic scene in which police arrive at a family's home to arrest a woman for having an abortion and even draw their weapons during the tense episode.
In the video, two police officers arrive at the house as the family is apparently having dinner. An officer informs the woman that he has a warrant for her arrest, and when the husband asks what the arrest is for, the officer explains it is for illegally terminating a pregnancy.
As a little girl looks on, the officer notes that the mother's medical records were subpoenaed and then names a doctor who is in custody.
The officer then informs the woman she will need to undergo a "physical examination."
"What? By who?" the distressed woman asks.
When her husband steps forward and vehemently objects, the police draw their guns.
The officer then apparently handcuffs the mother before saying, "We're just enforcing the law here."
The ad, paid for by Swalwell's campaign, urges people to "Vote Democrat on November 8th" and "Stop Republicans from criminalizing abortion everywhere."
"MAGA Republicans want women arrested for having an abortion. This is what that looks like," Swalwell tweeted while also adding the hashtag "#LockHerUp."

The video the congressman tweeted has racked up more than 2 million views so far on the social media platform.
"Now post a video of an abortion — you know, something horrific that actually happens. Or maybe a video of a peaceful pro-lifer being arrested, which also actually happens. It'll be much easier. You won't have to hire actors and stage everything," Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon tweeted in response to Swalwell's post.
Earlier this year, Democrats bewailed a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that returned to the states the authority to determine how to handle the issue of abortion, including whether to ban it. In a statement at the time, Swalwell described the decision as "a dangerous and deliberate attack on our most basic freedoms."
