hadley duvall video Woman in Beshear’s ab**ortion ad says she wants to give voice to victims.
Hadley Duvall, a 21-year-old from Owensboro, said speaking about her experience with se**xual a**buse amid debates on abortion rights is a calling for her.
That’s why Duvall is appearing in an ad for Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear’s reelection campaign.
After the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, Duvall began publicly sharing her story about the se**xual ab*use she experienced as a child.
In the campaign ad, Duvall speaks directly to the camera and slams Republican Attorney General Daniel Cameron for his support of Kentucky’s near-total ab**ortion ban.
This is to you, Daniel Cameron,” she says. “To tell a 12-year-old girl she must have the baby of her stepfather who raped her is unthinkable.
Previous news stories reported that Duvall’s stepfather raped her when she was 12 and she became pregnant, but mis**carried. Her stepfather pleaded guilty to raping her and is in prison.
The ad with Duvall is the Beshear campaign’s second taking Cameron to task on abortion.
The first ad, released earlier this month, features a Jefferson County prosecutor who claims that Cameron believes 9-year-old rape victims “should be forced to give birth.
While she would not have been in a place to share her story as a child, Duvall said now she can handle it, even if it is difficult to be vulnerable.
Cameron, who has a history of highlighting his opposition to abortion, has defended Kentucky’s abortion ban in court. The law only allows abortions up to six weeks of pregnancy and does not include exceptions in cases of rape and incest.
