Planned Parenthood Votes Launches Historic Seven-Figure Ad Buy Spotlighting High-Stakes Pennsylvania Supreme Court Race

For Immediate Release: Sept. 21, 2023


Television and digital ads warn voters, “There’s no way Pennsylvania can trust Carolyn Carluccio on abortion.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. —  Today, Planned Parenthood Votes launched a seven-figure television ad buy and expanded an existing digital ad campaign in Pennsylvania, spotlighting the high stakes for reproductive freedom in the state’s Supreme Court race this November. The historic ad buy marks Planned Parenthood Votes’ largest investment in a state Supreme Court race, and comes following the initial release of digital ads last month.

The campaign’s first television advertisement, “Erased” will run across television, streaming, and digital channels, targeting voters in the Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and their surrounding counties.

“Erased” sheds light on Carolyn Carluccio’s effort to hide her anti-abortion bona fides from voters. She not only removed her views on abortion from her website, but has been endorsed by anti-abortion groups like the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation and the Pro-Life Coalition of Pennsylvania. The bottom line: Carolyn Carluccio cannot be trusted to protect Pennsylvanians’ right to abortion.

Statement from Planned Parenthood Votes campaign director Breana Ross: 

“Carolyn Carluccio may try to shade her views from the public eye, but she cannot pull one over on Pennsylvania voters. They know that the person elected to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court will determine the future of abortion access in their state. They’re not going to take their chances on a politician who hid her anti-abortion views from voters by scrubbing her website and cozied up to far-right anti-abortion extremists. Pennsylvanians will go to the polls to protect their reproductive freedom, just like they did in 2022. And they will once again put anti-abortion politicians like Carolyn Carluccio on notice.”

Watch “Erased,” and read the ad’s script below.

These justices overturned Roe v. Wade, erasing our right to an abortion
Now Pennsylvania Supreme Court candidate Carolyn Carluccio is a threat to our abortion rights. She got caught covering up her anti-abortion views, wiping them from her website.
And she’s backed by extremists pushing a total abortion ban, with no exceptions for rape or incest.
MAGA Republicans trust her to take away our rights.
But there’s no way we can trust Carolyn Carluccio.
