Six Nebraska athletes recently lent their voices to an antiabortion election ad, urging voters to “get off the bench” and speak out on the issue. The ad, which was featured in The Washington Post, showcases the athletes sharing their personal stories and emphasizing the importance of protecting the rights of the unborn.
The athletes featured in the ad include former Nebraska football player Joel Makovicka, former Nebraska volleyball player Karen Dahlgren Schonewise, and former Nebraska track and field athlete Mike Rutherford. Each athlete spoke passionately about their beliefs and encouraged others to take action in the upcoming election.
The ad comes at a crucial time as abortion rights continue to be a hotly debated topic across the country. With the potential for changes in legislation and the Supreme Court, advocates on both sides are ramping up their efforts to be heard.
While the athletes’ decision to speak out on such a controversial issue may lead to backlash from some fans and supporters, they appear to be unfazed. In fact, they seem more determined than ever to use their platform to advocate for what they believe is right.
With the election fast approaching, it is clear that these athletes are committed to making their voices heard and encouraging others to do the same. Whether you agree with their stance on abortion or not, their dedication to advocating for what they believe in is undeniable. It remains to be seen how their ad will impact the election, but one thing is certain – these athletes are not afraid to speak out for what they believe in.
