Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump points toward vice-presidential candidate Indiana Gov. Mike Pence after Pence’s acceptance speech during the third day session of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.

The super PAC American Bridge 21st Century and the pro-choice group EMILY’s List’s independent expenditure arm are partnering to release a new digital ad in Nevada today, painting Donald Trump as an anti-woman candidate.

The ad, titled “Women Know Better,” will air in Nevada first today before going up nationwide on social media platforms. The 60-second spot highlights some remarks Trump has made on women, on issues from abortion to sexual harassment in the work place.

Clips of Trump saying that putting a wife to work is a “dangerous thing,” that the Supreme Court decision in the abortion case Roe v. Wade should be changed, and suggesting that women should be punished for having an abortion appear in the ad. (Trump later backtracked on that last remark, saying that it’s the doctors who should be punished for performing abortions.)

The ad also highlights clips of Trump’s running mate Mike Pence opposing Planned Parenthood and saying “Roe must go.”

The ad will target women under the age of 35 on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. The amount that will be spent on the buy was not immediately available.
