New Catholic Tom Barrett TV ad targets Walker for 'war on women'

A new television ad from gubernatorial candidate and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett takes aim at Gov. Scott Walker for what he calls an "ideological war" that has targeted women.

The 30-second ad starts with Barrett delivering a speech while the screen displays a headline detailing the enactment of the Equal Pay Enforcement Act. The next screen displays a DailyKos headline from April 2012 saying "Walker's war on women escalates."

"Legislation that was on the books dealing with equal pay for equal work, to ensure that women would be treated fairly in the state," Barrett says. "Pow. He went after that."

The screen then displays another headline detailing an "all-out attack" on women, while Barrett describes the passage of a law regulating abortions that he claims would "make it more difficult for women to have the most intimate conversations with their health care providers."

"All part of this ideological war, a war against women, a war against working people, a war against Wisconsin values," he concludes as the screen displays Barrett's name with the slogan "A Governor who will fight for what's right."
