Democratic super PAC launches campaign blasting AT&T for donating to lawmakers who sponsored Texas a
abortion bill
A Democratic super PAC headed by a former president of Planned Parenthood is set to unleash ads targeting Dallas-based AT&T for backing Texas lawmakers who sponsored the new state law that effectively outlaws abortion after six weeks.
American Bridge, which backed President Joe Biden in the 2020 campaign, will be running an ad in the digital version of The Dallas Morning News starting Tuesday. A TV ad taking aim at AT&T is expected to run in Texas in the coming days, a PAC representative told CNBC.
The Texas abortion law, officially known as SB 8, allows private citizens to sue people who are performing abortions in the state. It also gives private citizens the opportunity to sue anyone who assists people who receive an abortion. Biden's Department of Justice sued the state of Texas over the law after the U.S. Supreme Court allowed it to go into effect last month.
The PAC also intends to soon run a similar ad in Florida, where a Republican lawmaker recently introduced a bill that echoes what Texas' law does, a person familiar with the matter said. This person declined to be identified since the Florida ad is set to be announced at a later date.
