Rape victim featured in ad reemerges as focal point of abortion debate in Kentucky governor’s race

Republican Daniel Cameron expressed sympathy for a woman who discussed the trauma of being raped by her stepfather in a powerful campaign ad, but said he still supports Kentucky's current abortion ban that requires similar victims of rape and incest to carry their pregnancies to term. During a Monday night appearance on Spectrum News 1, Cameron said his “heart goes out” to the “young lady,” and he expressed appreciation that she shared her story with him in the recent commercial released by Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear's campaign. “Daniel Cameron said himself that he cannot comprehend how traumatic the experience was for me,” she said in a phone interview Tuesday.
