HER ENTIRE CAMPAIGN IS BASED ON THE NOTION...:
Wendy Davis Wins the Prize for Most Ill-Advised Political Ad of 2014 (Maya Rhodan, 10/10/14, TIME)
The 2014 campaign season reached its nastiest point yet Friday, with a campaign ad by Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis that plays off the disability of her opponent Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, while calling him a hypocrite in the same breath.Abbott was struck by a limb falling from an oak tree in 1984, and has used a wheelchair ever since. In the ad titled "Justice", a narrator shares that after the Republican's accident--which isn't directly mentioned, though the ad opens with a shot of an empty wheelchair--he "sued and got millions"
...that she should have a right to kill a child who might be disabled; why would we expect her not to be mean to a man who is?
