President Obama's campaign airs second ad hitting Romney on abortion

For the second time this month, President Barack Obama's re-election campaign is hitting Mitt Romney over his opposition to abortion in a television ad, as the two candidates battle for the crucial women's vote.

A new spot from Team Obama starts with a graphic saying "Women speak on Mitt Romney" and then features one woman, named Jenni, saying to the camera: "I've never felt this way before, but it's just a scary time to be a woman. Mitt Romney is so out of touch."

Then a female narrator talks about Romney opposing a policy that would have required coverage for contraception and supporting overturning Roe v. Wade. The ad also says Romney would back a federal bill that outlaws abortion. The spot concludes with the same woman, Jenni, saying: "There's so much we need to do. We need to attack our problems – not a woman's choice."

The commercial, part of the new Obama-Democratic National Committee ad coordination buy, is airing in Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, Nevada and Ohio. It will start running in Colorado on Monday.
