What makes this new campaign ad from Senator Catherine Cortez Masto interesting is the Catholic iconography in the background — a statue of Jesus and a painting of Our Lady of Guadalupe loom over the Nevada Democrat every time she speaks directly to the camera:

The Catholic iconography is perhaps a sign that Cortez Masto’s campaign is worried that Democrats have alienated Latino voters by embracing extreme positions on abortion.
Cortez Masto is co-sponsoring Elizabeth Warren’s bill to shut down pro-life charities that help provide counseling and resources to pregnant women.
Cortez Masto was also one of 49 Senate Democrats to vote for a radical bill that strikes down almost all state limits on abortion. That bill would gut religious-liberty and conscience protections, and it would force all states to allow abortion through all nine months of pregnancy whenever a nurse, midwife, or doctor determines that a late-term abortion of a viable baby would help a pregnant woman’s mental or emotional health.
Our Lady of Guadalupe was proclaimed “Protectress of Unborn Children” by Pope John Paul II, and many pro-life Catholics will find a politician’s use of that image while promoting abortion extremism to be something much worse than ironic.
